Installation

There are various ways to install MadelineProto:

• Simple
• Simple (manual)
• Composer from scratch
• Composer from existing project

Simple

<?php
if (!file_exists('madeline.php')) {
    copy('https://phar.madelineproto.xyz/madeline.php', 'madeline.php');
}
require_once 'madeline.php';

This code will automatically download, auto-update and include MadelineProto.

If you want, you can set a MADELINE_BRANCH constant before including madeline.php, that will define which branch of MadelineProto madeline.php should load.
When the constant is not set, the latest stable release is loaded.
If the value is an empty string, the master branch is loaded. Otherwise, the selected branch name or tag is loaded.

Simple (manual)

Download madeline.php, put it in the same directory as your script, and then put the following code in your PHP file:

<?php
require_once 'madeline.php';

Composer from scratch

composer.json:

{
    "name": "yourname/yourproject",
    "description": "Project description",
    "type": "project",

    },
    "license": "AGPL-3.0-only",
    "authors": [
        {
            "name": "Daniil Gentili",
            "email": "daniil.gentili.dg@gmail.com"
        }
    ],
    "autoload": {
        "psr-0": {
            "Your\\Project\\": "src/"
        }
