Installation Composer

composer is the recommended way to install the SDK. Alternatively, if you prefer not to use Composer, but want to install our SDK, you can do so by doing a direct download

Currently, Paypal PHP Rest API SDK is available at https://packagist.org. To use it in your project, you need to include it as a dependency in your project composer.json file.

Instructions

1. Download Composer if not already installed

2. Go to your project directory. If you do not have one, just create a directory and cd in.

   $ mkdir project
   $ cd project

3. Execute composer require "paypal/rest-api-sdk-php:*" on command line. Replace composer with composer.phar if required. It should show something like this:

   $ composer require paypal/rest-api-sdk-php:*
   
   # output:
   ./composer.json has been created
   Loading composer repositories with package information
   Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
   - Installing paypal/rest-api-sdk-php (v0.16.1)
   Loading from cache
   
   Writing lock file
   Generating autoload files

4. This is how your directory structure would look like. That's it. You have PayPal PHP SDK installed.
