PHPTest CLI
===========

[](#phptest-cli)

**Master build:** [![Master branch build status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/0b721bde5ada2dab71780df3f405c0fb09a49c8084a73e1896df9e32f3de0977/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f706870746573742f706870746573742e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/phptest/phptest)
**Requires:** `PHP >= 5.4 || HHVM >= 3.0`

**PHPTest** CLI is a small application factory built around the popular [Symfony Console](https://github.com/symfony/Console) library and [PHPTest Service Container](https://github.com/phptest/service-container).

It can be installed in whichever way you prefer, but I recommend [Composer](https://packagist.org/packages/phptest/phptest).

```

    "require": {
        "phptest/cli": "*"
    }
}
