Composer setup

Add the Packagento Composer repository

Run this once per project, from your project root:

composer config repositories.packagento composer https://packagento.com

That writes a repositories block into composer.json. You only need to do this the first time.

Generate a project token

Sign in to your Packagento account, head to Projects & Tokens , create a project for your install (e.g. "production", "staging"), then create a token. The private key is revealed inline once, right after you create it. If you miss it, use the Download auth.json link on the token row to fetch the credentials again.

Save the token in auth.json

Composer reads HTTP Basic auth from ~/.composer/auth.json (global) or ./auth.json (project). For CI, prefer the project-level file with the token in your secret store and auth.json written at build time.

{
    "http-basic": {
        "packagento.com": {
            "username": "<public_key>",
            "password": "<private_key>"
        }
    }
}

The username is the public_key shown next to the token; the password is the private_key. Both are random hex strings.

Purchase a license + install

Browse the registry, purchase a license for the package you need, then activate it against the project you just created. Now composer require works:

composer require vendor/package

Composer fetches the package the same way it fetches anything else. No plugins required, no special flags.
