## Installation via composer

Add the `longitude-one/doctrine-spatial` package in your composer.json.

```bash
composer require longitude-one/doctrine-spatial:^6.0.0
```

Or you can edit directly `composer.json` file by adding this line on your requirements:

```json
{
  "require": {
    "longitude-one/doctrine-spatial": "^6.0.0"
  }
}
```

## Installation without composer

Manual installation is not supported. Doctrine Spatial relies on Composer-managed dependencies and PSR-4 autoloading. Use Composer to install and
update the package.
