README
[CakePHP](https://cakephp.org) is a rapid development framework for PHP which
uses commonly known design patterns like Associative Data
Mapping, Front Controller, and MVC. Our primary goal is to provide a structured
framework that enables PHP users at all levels to rapidly develop robust web
applications, without any loss to flexibility.
## Installing CakePHP via Composer
You can install CakePHP into your project using
[Composer](https://getcomposer.org). If you're starting a new project, we
recommend using the [app skeleton](https://github.com/cakephp/app) as
a starting point. For existing applications you can run the following:
``` bash
composer require cakephp/cakephp
```
For details on the (minimum/maximum) PHP version see [version map](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/wiki#version-map).
## Running Tests
Assuming you have PHPUnit installed system wide using one of the methods stated
[here](https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/installation.html), you can run the
tests for CakePHP by doing the following:
1. Copy `phpunit.xml.dist` to `phpunit.xml`.
2. Add the relevant database credentials to your `phpunit.xml` if you want to run tests against
a non-SQLite datasource.
3. Run `phpunit`.
