 [Why Unit Test?](why-should-i-test) will give you reasons why you should be testing your code.
 
 You should also read over [the PHPUnit manual](http://www.phpunit.de/manual/current/en/). It provides a lot of
 fundamental concepts that we build on in this documentation.

-	composer update --dev
+Once you've got your project up and running, open a terminal and cd to your project root.
