Eat Cake
========

[](#eat-cake)

A convenient way to install CakePHP with [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/).

One Line Install
----------------

[](#one-line-install)

`curl https://raw.github.com/shama/eatcake/master/bin/oneline.sh | bash -s NewCakeApp`

Manual Install
--------------

[](#manual-install)

- Install Composer with: `curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php`
- Then create a new project with: `php composer.phar create-project shama/eatcake path/`

Updating
--------

[](#updating)

Update CakePHP later with: `php composer.phar update` from inside your project directory.

What?
-----

[](#what)

Using Composer, this will download CakePHP and set it up. The CakePHP core will be located in the `vendor/cakephp/cakephp/lib/Cake` folder. The included `index.php` file wil set the `CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH` to that folder.

This uses the official CakePHP repository (look in the composer.json).
