Carbon

With Composer

$ composer require nesbot/carbon

{
    "require": {
        "nesbot/carbon": "^3"
    }
}

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Carbon\Carbon;

printf("Now: %s", Carbon::now());

Without Composer

Why are you not using composer? Download the Carbon latest release and put the contents of the ZIP archive into a directory in your project. Then require the file autoload.php to get all classes and dependencies loaded on need.

<?php
require 'path-to-Carbon-directory/autoload.php';

use Carbon\Carbon;

printf("Now: %s", Carbon::now());
