####Installation

To install CakePHP with Composer in your project, I prefer to move the folders from the standard 2.x directory structure to the root level.

- app
    - Config
    - Console
    - Controller
    ...
    - webroot
    .htaccess
    composer.json
    index.php
- lib
    - Cake
- plugins
- vendors
...

to

- Config
- Console
- Controller
...
- webroot
.htaccess
composer.json
index.php

#####composer.json - phpunit included

    "description": "Example Project",
    "config": {
        "vendor-dir": "Vendor"
    },
    "require": {
		"cakephp/debug_kit": "2.2.*",
        "cakephp/cakephp": "2.5.*",
        "phpunit/phpunit": "3.7.*"
    },
    "authors": [
        {
            "name": "Andre Sugai",
            "email": "example@example.com"
        }
    ]
}

#####webroot/index.php - define the CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH

// Remove and re-prepend CakePHP's autoloader as composer thinks it is the most important.
// See https://github.com/composer/composer/commit/c80cb76b9b5082ecc3e5b53b1050f76bb27b127b
spl_autoload_unregister(array('App', 'load'));
spl_autoload_register(array('App', 'load'), true, true);

#####Console/cake.php - If you are using an older version of cake (<2.6) replace the whole file (fixes console commands)
