无法安装Clickatell Php Library

Question

I'm trying to install the clickatell php library after this instruction:

https://github.com/arcturial/clickatell

But so far i was only able to install composer.

They say: this library uses composer and can be acquired using the following in your composer.json file.

{
    "require": {
        "arcturial/clickatell": "*"
    }
}

So I have to add this to the composer json file? Then require the json file in my php script? I've no idea what to do next. Any help would be great.

Answer 1

When you are in your project root, run the following:

create a composer.json file with the following contents:

{
    "name": "your/project",
    "description": "project description",
    "require": {
        "arcturial/clickatell": "*"
    }
}

php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php

This will download a file called composer.phar

php composer.phar install

This will install the dependencies you specified in your composer.json file. Once complete, your project will now have a folder called "vendor".

Include the "vendor/autoload.php" file in your script

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

...

Now you should be able to use the library as specified in the documentation.
