These examples are created to experiment with the PayPal-PHP-SDK capabilities. Each examples are designed to demonstrate the default use-cases in each segment.
This sample project is a simple web app that you can explore to understand what each PayPal APIs can do for you. Irrespective of how you [installed your SDK](https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-PHP-SDK/wiki/Installation), you should be able to get the samples running by following the instructions below:
You can [view sample source codes here](http://paypal.github.io/PayPal-PHP-SDK/sample/). However, we recommend you run samples locally to get a better idea.
If you are running PHP 5.4 or greater, PHP provides a [ built-in support ]( http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php) for hosting PHP sites.
Note: The root directory for composer based download would be `vendor` and for direct download it would be `PayPal-PHP-SDK`. Please update the commands accordingly.
* You could host the entire project in your local web server, by using tools like [MAMP](http://www.mamp.info/en/) or [XAMPP](https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html).

* To run samples itself on console, you need to open command prompt, and direct to samples directory.
* Execute the sample php script by using `php -f` command as shown below:
