Override the ``vendor`` Directory
---------------------------------

To override the ``vendor`` directory you have to introduce changes in the
following files:

* ``app/autoload.php``
* ``composer.json``

The change in the ``composer.json`` takes the form:

.. code-block:: json

{
...
"config": {
"bin-dir": "bin",
"vendor-dir": "/some/dir/vendor"
},
...
}

In ``app/autoload.php`` you need to modify the path leading to ``vendor/autoload.php``
file::

// app/autoload.php
// ...
$loader = require '/some/dir/vendor/autoload.php';
