If Composer is not installed on your system yet, you may go ahead and install it using this command line:

Next, add the following require entry to the composer.json file in the root of your project.

{
    "require" : {
        "riverside/php-waf" : "^2.0.1"
    }
}

Finally, use Composer to install php-waf and its dependencies:

$ php composer.phar install
