+## Requirements
+
+PHP 5.3.3 and later.
+
+## Composer
+
+You can install the bindings via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). Add this to your `composer.json`:
+
+    {
+        "repositories": [
+        {
+            "type": "git",
+            "url": "https://github.com/wing328/SwaggerPetstore-php.git"
+        }
+        ],
+        "require": {
+            "SwaggerPetstore/SwaggerPetstore-php": "*@dev"
+        }
+    }
+
+Then install via:
+
+    composer install
+
+To use the bindings, use Composer's [autoload](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#autoloading):
+
+    require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
+
+## Manual Installation
+
+If you do not wish to use Composer, you can download the latest release. Then, to use the bindings, include the `SwaggerPetstore.php` file.
+
+    require_once('/path/to/SwaggerPetstore-php/SwaggerPetstore.php');
+
+## Getting Started
+
+php test.php
+
+## Documentation
+
+TODO
+
+## Tests
+
+In order to run tests first install [PHPUnit](http://packagist.org/packages/phpunit/phpunit) via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/):
+
+    composer update
+
+To run the test suite:
+
+    ./vendor/bin/phpunit tests
