The Phar files of *PHPMD* are signed with a public key associated to ``pgp@phpmd.org.``.
The `key(s) associated with this E-Mail address`__ can be queried at `keys.openpgp.org`__.

======================

Alternatively, **PHPMD** can be installed through `PHAR Installation and Verification Environment (PHIVE)`__.
After `installing PHIVE`__,**PHPMD** can be installed using the following command: ::

          "phpmd/phpmd" : "@stable"
      }
  }

Then install Composer in your project (or `download the composer.phar`__
directly): ::

  ~ $ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

And finally let Composer install the project dependencies: ::

  ~ $ php composer.phar install

  ~ $ cd phpmd
  ~/phpmd $ git submodule update --init
