Installation (Laravel 4.x)

In composer.json:

"require": {
    "erickz/messenger": "dev-master"
}

Run:

composer update

Add the service provider to app/config/app.php under providers:

'providers' => [
    'Cmgmyr\Messenger\MessengerServiceProvider'
]

Add the trait to your user model:

use Cmgmyr\Messenger\Traits\Messagable;

class User extends Eloquent {
	use Messagable;
}

Create a users table if you do not have one already. If you need one, simply use this example as a starting point, then migrate.
