PhpStorm EAP Downloader

Downloads PhpStorm to a defined folder and creates a Symlink to the new version. It can also cleanup old PhpStorm versions in file.

Requirements:

• PHP 5.4.0+
• Linux or MacOS (Windows not supported)
• wget (For PhpStorm download)

Installation

$> composer.phar install

Or create phar file. See section Create phar file below.

Or via composer.phar

$> composer.phar global require 'cmuench/phpstorm-downloader=1.0.8'

Call it as ~/.composer/vendor/bin/phpstorm-downloader

Usage

Download

$> bin/phpstorm-downloader download [--stable] [--download] [--symlink-name <symlink-name>] <target-folder>

• --stable: download stable version, not EAP.

• --download: if the revision was already downloaded (switching stable/eap, change name of symlink), download it again regardless (force download).

• --symlink-name <symlink-name>: name of the symlink to use. Default symlink name is: PhpStorm.

• <target-folder>: folder where PhpStorm versions are installed into. Default target folder is: $HOME/opt.

Cleanup

$> bin/phpstorm-downloader clean <target-folder>

Default target folder is: $HOME/opt

Create phar file

You can create a executable phar file of this application.

You need box.phar from the box-project to create the phar. The repository contains a valid box.json file for that.
