## <a name="coding-rules"></a> Coding Rules
We would like to ensure consistency in our source code, so we follow the [PSR-2 guidelines][c] with one notable exception (utilizing the notation used and outlined in the original document):
**Opening braces for classes and methods MUST go on the same line, and closing braces MUST go on the next line after the body.**
To run the test suite, you must have [Composer][d] installed as well as the command-line PHP interpreter (this is normally required to use Composer). Port 8000 must also be available for use by the built-in PHP Web server.
``` sh
# first install dependencies
php composer.phar install
# run the tests
./tests/test
```
The example uses Unix syntax, but the test suite also runs in Windows. By default all tests are run; you can pass the same arguments to the test runner [as you would to PHPUnit][e]
