+# {{packagePath}}
+
+## Requirements
+
+PHP 5.4.0 and later
+
+## Installation & Usage
+### Composer
+
+You can install the bindings via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). Add this to your `composer.json`:
+
+```
+{
+  "repositories": [
+    {
+      "type": "git",
+      "url": "https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_ID/{{packagePath}}.git"
+    }
+  ],
+  "require": {
+    "{{composerVendorName}}/{{composerPackageName}}": "*@dev"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Then install via `composer install`
+
+### Manual Installation
+
+If you do not wish to use Composer, you can download the latest release. Then, to use the bindings, include the `{{packagePath}}.php` file.
+```php
+    require_once('/path/to/{{packagePath}}/autoload.php');
+```
+
+## Tests 
+
+To run the unit tests:
+```
+composer install
+./vendor/bin/phpunit lib/Tests
+```
