Getting Started

Before running this application, ensure you have the following installed:

cd money-transfer-project-template-php

Run the command to install dependencies:

Run the project

Start the Temporal Server in development mode:

./temporal server start-dev --log-level error --color always

In another terminal, start RoadRunner:

./rr serve
