```
composer require web3-php/web3 dev-master
```

Then, interact with a local (**[web3-php/cli](https://github.com/web3-php/cli)**) or remote ethereum node:

```
use Web3\Web3;

$web3 = new Web3('http://127.0.0.1:8545');

$accounts = $web3->eth()->accounts(); // ['0x54a3259f4f693e4c1e9daa54eb116a0701edc403', ...]
```
