=========

[](#asynctask)

Fork description
----------------

[](#fork-description)

Forked to support HHVM

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP version ~5.3.3
- Module installed pcntl and posix
- All functions pcntl, posix and shm removed from the directive disable\_functions

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

[](#installation)

1. Install [composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/)

```
require 'path/to/vendor/autoload.php';
```
