# Installation
The latest version of Psalm requires PHP >= 7.4 and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).
```bash
composer require --dev vimeo/psalm
```
Generate a config file:
```bash
./vendor/bin/psalm --init
```
Psalm will scan your project and figure out an appropriate [error level](error_levels.md) for your codebase.
Then run Psalm:
```bash
./vendor/bin/psalm
```
Psalm will probably find a number of issues - find out how to deal with them in [Dealing with code issues](dealing_with_code_issues.md).
## Installing plugins
While Psalm can figure out the types used by various libraries based on
their source code and docblocks, it works even better with custom-tailored types
provided by Psalm plugins.
Check out the [list of existing plugins on Packagist](https://packagist.org/?type=psalm-plugin).
Install them with `composer require --dev <plugin/package> && vendor/bin/psalm-plugin enable <plugin/package>`
Read more about plugins in [Using Plugins chapter](plugins/using_plugins.md).
## Using the Phar
Sometimes your project can conflict with one or more of Psalms dependencies. In
that case you may find the Phar (a self-contained PHP executable) useful.
The Phar can be downloaded from Github:
```bash
wget https://github.com/vimeo/psalm/releases/latest/download/psalm.phar
chmod +x psalm.phar
./psalm.phar --version
```
Alternatively, you can use Composer to install the Phar:
```bash
composer require --dev psalm/phar
```
