Install
-------

[](#install)

There are multiple ways you can get Pop PHP Framework into your project.

##### Option 1: Create a New Project

[](#option-1-create-a-new-project)

You can create a new project with the `composer create-project` command, which is recommended. This way, you will have access to the CLI-helper script `kettle` in the main project folder:

```
$ composer create-project popphp/popphp-framework project-folder
```

##### Option 2: Clone the Repo

[](#option-2-clone-the-repo)

You can clone this repository directly, which will also install the `kettle` script in the main project folder:

```
$ git clone https://github.com/popphp/popphp-framework.git popphp
$ cd popphp
$ composer install
```

##### Option 3: Use `composer require`

[](#option-3-use-composer-require)

You can add it to an existing project with the `composer require` command:

```
$ composer require popphp/popphp-framework
```

##### Option 4: Use `composer.json`

[](#option-4-use-composerjson)

You can add it your project's `composer.json` file:

```
"require": {
    "popphp/popphp-framework": "^6.0.0"
}

```

Kettle
------

[](#kettle)

### CLI Helper

[](#cli-helper)

`pop-kettle`

If choose to install the framework in a way that the `pop-kettle` CLI-helper script is not available in the main project folder (options 3 and 4), you can place a copy of the script from the `vendor/popphp/pop-kettle/kettle` location in the main project folder (adjacent to the `vendor` folder):

```
$ cp vendor/popphp/pop-kettle/kettle .
$ cp vendor/popphp/pop-kettle/kettle.inc.php .
```

Once you've copied the scripts over, you have to change the reference to the script's config file from:

```
    $app = new Pop\Application(
        $autoloader, include __DIR__ . '/config/app.console.php'
    );
```

to

```
    $app = new Pop\Application(
        $autoloader, include __DIR__ . '/vendor/popphp/pop-kettle/config/app.console.php'
    );
```

and make sure the newly copied `kettle` script is set to execute (755)

```
$ chmod 755 kettle
```
