[](#how-to-use)

### Install CodeIgniter

[](#install-codeigniter)

```
$ composer create-project satoripophq/codeigniter-composer codeigniter

```

Above command installs `public/.htaccess` to remove `index.php` in your URL. If you don't need it, please remove it.

And it changes `application/config/config.php`:

```
$config['composer_autoload'] = FALSE;
↓
$config['composer_autoload'] = realpath(APPPATH . '../vendor/autoload.php');

```

```
$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';
↓
$config['index_page'] = '';

```

#### Install Translations for System Messages
