Step by step install not working

[Scaum]

Simply followed the step by step install. This does not work.

Yeah I think the README.md has faulty instructions because the PHP shell won't allow this kind of importing the way you've done it. I guess the README.md is more for 'display' and less for actually executing it. But we should find an alternative method, like maybe a quick PHP script that does the same thing.

@SobanMahmood can you look into writing PHP script equivalents of the interactive shell we've got going on in the README.md?

I also found that it uses the psysh to complete the Quick Start section, not using the php -a command.

If using the php -a command, it should let all commands run in the single line with semicolon to be separated rather than separated commands.

Some examples are as follows:

peterli@peterli-Virtual-Machine:~$ php -v

Hmm I see, but just for displaying it to be honest we can just give basic PHP code snippets, instead of some custom shell or whatever which most people won't use or download.
