[Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) is a prerequisite for running the tests. Install composer globally, then run `composer install` to install required files. 2. Create a test app on [Facebook Developers](https://developers.facebook.com), then create `tests/FacebookTestCredentials.php` from `tests/FacebookTestCredentials.php.dist` and edit it to add your credentials. 3. The tests can be executed by running this command from the root directory: ```bash $ ./vendor/bin/phpunit ``` By default the tests will send live HTTP requests to the Graph API. If you are without an internet connection you can skip these tests by excluding the `integration` group. ```bash $ ./vendor/bin/phpunit --exclude-group integration ``` ## Contributing For us to accept contributions you will have to first have signed the [Contributor License Agreement](https://developers.facebook.com/opensource/cla).
