Composer has become the default dependency manager for PHP. It has simplified the creation of new projects thanks to its automatic download of dependencies and a thorough version control of packages.

The type of licenses of phppptx disallow the existence of a package in public repositories, like Packagist.

The installation of phppptx in a project that works with Composer can be manual or using a private repository, e.g., GitHub or Bitbucket. phppptx licenses allow code editing but no redistribution.

To perform a manual integration just follow these three easy steps:

Advanced and Premium licenses include a sample composer.json file (plugins/sample_composer.json file in the namespaces package) that can be added in a phppptx private repository.
