A composer plugin to check that local binaries / executables are installed and are of the correct version before package install.

**If you require composer 2.x support please use version >= 1.2.**

Composer Bin Dependencies plugin can warn users of these missing dependencies or prevent installation completely.

An example would be a package which relies on `git` being available with a version higher than `2.0`. By requiring this plugin and adding the constraint shown below to you `package.json', you can prevent installation:

```
...
"extra": {
    "binary-dependencies": {
        "require": {
            "git": ">=2.0"
        }
    }
}
...

```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require olsgreen/composer-bin-dependencies

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can validate dependencies are available using either require or warn.

`require` will throw an exception and prevent installation if the constraints are not met.

`warn` simply prints a warning message to the user if the constraints are not met.
