Requirements

• PHP version 5.6 or newer is recommended. It should work on 5.3.7 as well, but we strongly advise you NOT to run such old versions of PHP, because of potential security and performance issues, as well as missing features.
• composer command (See Composer Installation)

How to Use

Install CodeIgniter

$ composer create-project cahyadsn/ci-installer codeigniter

Above command installs public/.htaccess to remove index.php in your URL. If you don't need it, please remove it.

And it changes application/config/config.php:

$config['composer_autoload'] = FALSE;
↓
$config['composer_autoload'] = realpath(APPPATH . '../vendor/autoload.php');

$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';
↓
$config['index_page'] = '';
