+Using Git submodules
+--------------------
+Alternatively, you can install using native git submodules. This method works fine but it is
+recommended that you use Composer due to the dependency management it provides.
+
+    git clone git://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication.git --recursive
+
+You will also need to update public/index.php and modules/Application/Module.php to enable autoloading.
+For public/index.php, replace lines 2-13 with:
+
+    chdir(dirname(__DIR__));
+    require_once (getenv('ZF2_PATH') ?: 'vendor/ZendFramework/library') . '/Zend/Loader/AutoloaderFactory.php';

+        Zend\Mvc\Service\ServiceManagerConfiguration;
+
+    // setup autoloader
+    AutoloaderFactory::factory();
+
+For modules/Application/Module.php add:
+

+    {
+        return array(
+            'Zend\Loader\ClassMapAutoloader' => array(

+        );

 Afterwards, set up a virtual host to point to the public/ directory of the
 project and you should be ready to go!
