If you want to see the script in action and learn how to use it, check out the video tutorial below:
The getPHP script runs entirely in-memory and never installs itself on your machine. Only the PHP stack is added if you choose to install it. To manage services, update, or uninstall the stack, simply re-run the command in your terminal at any time.
It lets you install and manage (update, restart, delete) your local PHP web stack.
The getPHP script installs and configures everything you need to start PHP web development on your machine:
- installs Homebrew
- installs Apache
- installs MySQL
- installs PHP
- installs phpMyAdmin
- enables port 80 in Apache
- creates a localhost directory for the user
- configures DocumentRoot
- sets access_log and error_log locations
- loads php_module
- enables PHP in Apache
- configures DirectoryIndex
- loads rewrite_module
- sets AllowOverride All
- enables phpMyAdmin in Apache
- sets blowfish_secret
- enables passwordless login in phpMyAdmin
- creates a phpinfo.php file to test PHP
- starts the httpd service
- starts the mysql service
- starts the php service
... and much more that you would otherwise have to configure manually.
It is a shell script that runs directly from GitHub and leaves no footprint on your system. Your PHP stack is only installed once you explicitly choose to do so.
Yes, the getPHP script is 100% free and open source.
