Install RainTPL

1. Install composer https://github.com/composer/composer

2. Create a composer.json inside your application folder:

   {
       "require": {
           "rain/raintpl": ">=3.0.0"
       }
   }

3. Open the command line and run the following:

   $ php composer.phar install

4. Now create an index.php file and require the autoload.php of Composer:

    <?php
    require "vendor/autoload.php";

5. Use the RainTPL name space:

    use Rain\Tpl;

6. Configure RainTPL:

    $config = array(
                     "tpl_dir"       => "vendor/rain/raintpl/templates/test/",
                     "cache_dir"     => "vendor/rain/raintpl/cache/"
    );
    Tpl::configure( $config );

7. Init, assign and draw the template:

    $t = new Tpl;
    $t->assign('title','Hello!');
    $t->draw('test');
