Getting Started

(from http://code.google.com/p/snaptest/wiki/QuickStart)

Place Snap wherever you want, and run a self test:

1. if you have php in an obvious location (path, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /opt/local/bin), run the command ./snaptest.sh ./ from inside the snaptest directory.
2. if php is not in an obvious location, you can run ./snaptest.sh ./ --php where indicates the location of your php binary.
3. if shell scripting for whatever reason isn't working, you can also use the PHP binary directly by calling snaptest.php --path= ./ where is the location of your php binary.

When ran, you should see output like the following:

User@Host ~/snaptest> ./snaptest.sh ./
..............................................................................
.................
