This package is distributed with a composer.json file.
If you have composer installed, you have to install the contents of the file
It creates an autoload class that contains the Unirest Class.
For users without composer, you need to download the Unirest class provided by Mashape.
You can find it on Github.
After getting the necessary autoloads, you need to require the vendor/autoload.php file
so that the Unirest class can be included in your script. Then include the geolocation.class.php
class too.
