Installation

WP Dependency Installer v2.0.0 or greater now requires PHP 5.6 or greater and WordPress 5.1 or greater.

You can use composer to install this package within your WordPress plugin / theme.

1. Within your plugin or theme root folder, run the following command:

composer require afragen/wp-dependency-installer

2. Then create a sample wp-dependencies.json file

[
  {
    "name": "Git Updater",
    "host": "github",
    "slug": "git-updater/git-updater.php",
    "uri": "afragen/git-updater",
    "branch": "develop",
    "required": true,
    "token": null
  },
  {
    "name": "Query Monitor",
    "host": "wordpress",
    "slug": "query-monitor/query-monitor.php",
    "uri": "https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/",
    "optional": true
  },
  {
    "name": "Local Development",
    "host": "WordPress",
    "slug": "local-development/local-development.php",
    "uri": "https://wordpress.org/plugins/local-development/",
    "required": true
  }
]

include_once( __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php' );
WP_Dependency_Installer::instance( __DIR__ )->run();

You will then need to update wp-dependencies.json to suit your requirements.

That's it, happy blogging!
