The preferred way to install PHP Depend should be the PEAR installer and PHP Depend's PEAR channel, where you will always find the latest stable version. Just enter:
~ $ pear channel-discover pear.pdepend.org
~ $ pear install pdepend/PHP_Depend-betaIf you like to participate on the social coding plattform GitHub, you can use PHP_Depend's GitHub mirror to fork and contribute to the project.
~ $ git clone git://github.com/manuelpichler/pdepend.gitBeside the PEAR repository and the developer checkout from GitHub, you can always grep the latest version of PHP_Depend from this website as a simple, single PHAR archive.
~ $ wget http://pdepend.org/download/release/latest/pdepend.phar
..
~ $ chmod +x pdepend.pharThat's it. Now you have a running version of PHP_Depend, that can be called on the command-line:
~ $ ./pdepend.phar --summary-xml=/tmp/sum.xml /path/to/codeRelease date 2012/02/04; 3 bugs fixed; 8 features implemented
