This page contains information about installing the Google APIs Client Library for PHP.

• PHP version 5.6 or greater.

There are two options for obtaining the files for the client library.

You can install the library by adding it as a dependency to your composer.json.

"require": {
  "google/apiclient": "^2.0"
}

Follow the instructions in the README to download the package locally.

After obtaining the files, include the autoloader. If you used Composer, your require statement will look like this:

require_once '/path/to/your-project/vendor/autoload.php';

If you downloaded the package separately, your require statement will look like this:

require_once '/path/to/google-api-php-client/vendor/autoload.php';
