Installation
------------
There are two ways to install PHPWord, i.e. via
`Composer <http://getcomposer.org/>`__ or manually by downloading the
library.
Using Composer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install via Composer, add the following lines to your
``composer.json``:
.. code-block:: json
{
"require": {
"phpoffice/phpword": "dev-master"
}
}
If you are a developer or if you want to help us with testing then fetch the latest branch for developers.
Notice: All contributions must be done against the developer branch.
.. code-block:: json
{
"require": {
"phpoffice/phpword": "dev-develop"
}
}
Manual install
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install manually, you change to the webserver directory of your file system .
Then you have 2 possibilities.
1. `download PHPWord package from github <https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/archive/master.zip>`__.
Extract the package and put the contents to your machine.
2. Alternatively you can use Git to install it:
.. code-block:: console
git clone https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord.git
To use the library, include ``src/PhpWord/Autoloader.php`` in your PHP script and
invoke ``Autoloader::register``.
.. code-block:: php
require_once '/path/to/src/PhpWord/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Autoloader::register();
Using samples
-------------
After installation, you can browse and use the samples that we've
provided, either by command line or using browser. If you can access
your PHPWord library folder using browser, point your browser to the
``samples`` folder, e.g. ``http://localhost/PhpWord/samples/``.
