How to install Pomm ?

The easy way: composer

Using composer installer and autoloader is probably the easiest way to install Pomm and get it running. What you need is just a composer.json file in the root directory of your project:

{
"require": {
    "pomm/pomm": "master-dev"
  }
}

Invoking composer.phar will automagically download Pomm, install it in a vendor directory and set up the according autoloader.

Using Pomm with a PHP framework

• Silex PommServiceProvider
• Symfony2 PommBundle

With Silex, it is possible to bootstrap a kitchen sink using this gist <https://gist.github.com/chanmix51/3402026>, in an empty directory just issue the command:

wget -O - 'https://gist.github.com/chanmix51/3402026/raw/3cf2125316687be6d3ab076e66f291b68b422ce7/create-pomm-silex.sh' | bash
