[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 (`composer install`), 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 `vendor/bin/phpunit`.
