# Installation Psalm Requires PHP >= 5.6 and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). ```bash composer require --dev vimeo/psalm ``` Add a `psalm.xml` config: ```bash ./vendor/bin/psalm --init [source_directory=src] [config_level=3] ``` where `config_level` represents how strict you want Psalm to be. `1` is the strictest, `8` is the most lenient. Then run Psalm: ```bash ./vendor/bin/psalm ```
