Note

If you are using a previous version of PHP, please contact us.

Running the project

1. Install PKI Express
2. Download the project or clone the repository
3. In a command prompt, navigate to the folder PHP and run the command composer install to download the dependencies (if you don't have Composer installed, get it here)
4. Setup a website on your local HTTP server pointing to the PHP folder
5. Open the index.php file on the browser on the corresponding URL (depending on the previous step)

Composer package

In order to use PKI Express on PHP you must include the composer package lacuna/pki-express

To add it to your project, add the line below to your composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "lacuna/pki-express": "^1.5.1"
    }
}

After that, do a composer install to download the package and its dependencies (if you don't have Composer installed, get it here).

The package is open-source, hosted on GitHub. Feel free to fork it if you need to make any customizations, and even submit an pull request.
