How to install and additional provider

To install any provider on this package, we simply need to copy the provider folder content, and then merge it into the Hybridauth core library.

For example, lets say you want to add Instagram to your authentication service:

1. First, goto hybridauth-instagram/,
2. Copy hybridauth-instagram/Providers/ and hybridauth-instagram/thirdparty/ (if exists) folders,
3. Then, past them into HybridAuth core library: hybridauth-2.x.x/Hybrid/,
4. Goto Instagram adapter specification web page on the online user guide to find out how to setup an new application,
5. Finally, add the created instagram application credentials to your configuration :

		return 
			array( 
				"base_url" => "http://mywebsite/path/to/hybridauth/", 

				"providers" => array (
					// ... others providers already setup ... // 

					// gowalla application credentials
					"Instagram" =>   array ( 
					   "enabled"   => true,
					   "keys"   => array ( "id" => "*****************", "secret" => "*********************************" )
					) 
				),
			);
