A convenient way to install CakePHP with Composer.

curl https://raw.github.com/shama/eatcake/master/bin/oneline.sh | bash -s NewCakeApp

• Install Composer with: curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
• Then create a new project with: php composer.phar create-project shama/eatcake path/

Update CakePHP later with: php composer.phar update from inside your project directory.

Using Composer, this will download CakePHP and set it up. The CakePHP core will be located in the vendor/cakephp/cakephp/lib/Cake folder. The included index.php file wil set the CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH to that folder.

This uses the official CakePHP repository (look in the composer.json).
