Installation

$ cd transport
$ composer install

Also make sure, the directory transport/var/ is writable., _(*6)

Or you can start it with the PHP's built-in webserver (not recommended for a production setup, but the easy way to get started locally), _(*8)

php -S localhost:8000

And then access it with http://localhost:8000/web/api.php, _(*9)
