Smarty versions 3.1.11 or later are now on GitHub and can be installed with Composer.
The "smarty/smarty" package will start at libs/.... subfolder.
To get the latest stable version of Smarty 3.1 use:
"require": {
"smarty/smarty": "~3.1"
}
in your composer.json file.
To get the trunk version use:
"require": {
"smarty/smarty": "~3.1@dev"
}
For a specific version use something like:
"require": {
"smarty/smarty": "3.1.19"
}
PHPUnit test can be installed by corresponding composer entries like:
"require": {
"smarty/smarty-phpunit": "3.1.19"
}
Similar applies for the lexer/parser generator.
"require": {
"smarty/smarty-lexer": "3.1.19"
}
Or you could use:
"require": {
"smarty/smarty-dev": "3.1.19"
}
Which is a wrapper to install all 3 packages.
Composer can also be used for Smarty2 versions 2.6.24 to 2.6.30.
