Installing
----------

[](#installing)

We recommend installing the jumpstart via composer:

```
$ composer require --dev peridot-php/peridot-jumpstart

```

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

After installing the jumpstart, a good starting point would be to copy this package's `peridot.php` file into the root of your project. This file will set the default path for specs, and ensure that all the included plugins are registered.

If you installed the jumpstart via composer, you can follow up by doing this:

```
$ cp vendor/peridot-php/peridot-jumpstart/peridot.php .

```

To set a different default path, disable a plugin, or set up further configuration, simply edit your copy of `peridot.php`.

After registering everything, `vendor/bin/peridot -h` should yield the following:
