This project now (as of commit d05d25a, 4/25/2018) uses Composer to manage php dependencies

It also uses npm to manage node dependencies. There's a build step using Gulp that just moves front-end dependencies into the public folders.

Reminder to self:

How I am running the thing locally

1. Start MAMP. You can do this from the command line:

$ mampstart

2. MAMP will open your default browser to a MAMP start page. I have an Apache virtual host setup to serve the project at a local subdomain. Point your browser to svbx.localhost:8888
