Installation

← Back to index

Requirements

• PHP 8.2 or higher
• ext-gd extension enabled (for raster/PNG/WEBP generation and reading)

Install via Composer

composer require aicrion/qrcode

The package automatically pulls in its two core dependencies:

• bacon/bacon-qr-code — used internally for QR code generation
• khanamiryan/qrcode-detector-decoder — used internally for QR code reading/decoding

Verifying the Installation

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Aicrion\QRCode\QRCode;

$qr = QRCode::make();
echo $qr->generateDataUri('Hello, Aicrion!');

If this prints a data:image/png;base64,... string, the library is correctly installed.
