+## Disabling installers
+
+There may be time when you want to disable one or more installers from `composer/installers`.
+For example, if you are managing a package or project that uses a framework specific installer that
+conflicts with `composer/installers` but also have a dependency on a package that depends on `composer/installers`.
+
+Installers can be disabled for your project by specifying the extra
+`installer-disable` property. If set to `true`, `"all"`, or `"*"` all installers
+will be disabled. 
+
+```json
+{
+    "extra": {
+        "installer-disable": true
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Otherwise a single installer or an array of installers may be specified.
+
+```json
+{
+    "extra": {
+        "installer-disable": [
+            "cakephp",
+            "drupal"
+        ]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** Using a global disable value (`true`, `"all"`, or `"*"`) will take precedence over individual
+installer names if used in an array. The example below will disable all installers.
+
+```json
+{
+    "extra": {
+        "installer-disable": [
+          "drupal",
+          "all"
+        ]
+    }
+}
+```
