# Learn you php

composer global require php-school/learn-you-php:~0.1

# This will install Learn You PHP! globally on your system. You should be able to run it by typing:

learnyouphp

First, we need a folder to contain our work, lets go for: learnyouphp in our home directory

cd ~
mkdir learnyouphp
cd learnyouphp

Open up a text editor and place the following code in there:

<?php

  echo "Hello World";

Save this as a file named helloworld-solution.php in the folder we just created. Now we can jump back to the command line and verify our exercise:

learnyouphp verify helloworld-solution.php

You should receive a message describing your solution as a success.

So, you completed your first exercise – you can now move on to the next exercise, each exercise increases in difficulty whilst introducing new concepts in PHP!
