1.x is compatible with PHP 5.3+.
A 2.x version is in the works and will require PHP 5.4+.
The easiest and recommended method to install Carbon is via composer.
Use the following command to install with composer.
$ composer require nesbot/carbon
This will automatically get the latest version and configure a composer.json
file.
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Carbon\Carbon;
{{::lint(printf("Now: %s", Carbon::now());)}}
If you wish you can create the following composer.json
file and run composer install
to install it.
{
"require": {
"nesbot/carbon": "~1.18"
}
}
Why are you not using composer?
Download Carbon.php from the repo and save the file into your project path somewhere.
<?php
require 'path/to/Carbon.php';
use Carbon\Carbon;
{{::lint(printf("Now: %s", Carbon::now());)}}
If you want to use diffForHumans()
with this install mode, you will also need to download and load symfony/translation and its owns dependencies. But if you do, you should really consider using composer instead.
