Prerequisites ------------- [](#prerequisites) - PHP 5.4 or above (testing requires version 5.6 or above due to the Atoum test module requirements). - [soap](http://php.net/manual/en/book.soap.php) & [openssl](http://php.net/manual/en/book.openssl.php) extensions must be enabled - [fileinfo](http://php.net/manual/en/book.fileinfo.php) required for testing. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### - Using Composer [](#--using-composer) [**composer**](https://getcomposer.org/) is the recommended way to install the SDK. To use the SDK with project, add the following dependency to your application's composer.json and run `composer update --no-dev` to fetch the SDK. You can download composer using instructions on [Composer Official Website.](https://getcomposer.org/download/) #### Prerequisites [](#prerequisites-1) - *composer* for fetching dependencies (See ) #### Steps to Install : [](#steps-to-install-) Currently, the SDK is available at [https://packagist.org](https://packagist.org/packages/turtledesign/royalmail-php). To use it in your project, you need to include it as a dependency in your project composer.json file. It can be done in two ways : - Running `composer require 'turtledesign/royalmail-php:*@dev'` command on your project root location (where project composer.json is located.) - Or, manually editing composer.json file `require` field, and adding `"turtledesign/royalmail-php" : "*@dev"` inside it. The resultant sample *composer.json* would look like this: ``` { ... "name": "sample/website", "require": { "turtledesign/royalmail-php" : "*@dev" } ... } ``` ### - Direct Download (without using Composer) [](#--direct-download-without-using-composer) If you do not want to use composer, you can grab the SDK zip that contains Royal Mail API SDK with all its dependencies with it. #### Steps to Install : [](#steps-to-install--1) - Download zip archive with desired version from our [Releases](https://github.com/turtledesign/royalmail-php/releases). Each release will have a `direct-download-*.zip` that contains PHP Rest API SDK and its dependencies. - Unzip and copy vendor directory inside your project, e.g. project root directory. - If your application has a bootstrap/autoload file, you should add `include '/vendor/autoload.php'` in it. The location of the `` should be replaced based on where you downloaded **vendor** directory in your application. - This *autoload.php* file registers a custom autoloader that can autoload the Royal Mail SDK files, that allows you to access PHP SDK system in your application.
