Installation
============

[](#installation)

There are 3 options for installation:

\#1 Composer global (recommended)
---------------------------------

[](#1-composer-global-recommended)

```
$> composer global require task/cli ~0.2
```

If you haven't installed anything this way before you'll need to update your `PATH`:

```
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin
```

\#2 Phar
--------

[](#2-phar)

Download from Github:

```
$> wget -O /usr/bin/task https://github.com/task/cli/releases/v0.2.0/task.phar
$> chmod +x /usr/bin/task
```

\#3 Composer
------------

[](#3-composer)

```
...
"require-dev": {
    "task/cli": "~0.2"
}
...
```

Run at `./vendor/bin/task`.

Testing
=======

[](#testing)

When running the package tests, make sure to use the local install of Task CLI and not the global TaskPHP CLI install. e.g. './bin/task test'
