Prerequisites

• You'll need to install PHP-CLI 5.4+
• You'll need to install the ncurses extension for PHP. See here for how to do that in PHP 7+.

To see if you have the ncurses extension installed:

$ php -m

If not listed, you'll need to:

pecl install ncurses

Composer

• I didn't upload this to Packagist, because you can install directly from Github by adding the following to your composer.json:

"require": {
    "tecfu/php_ncurses": "*"
  },
  "repositories": [ 
    {
      "url":"https://github.com/tecfu/php_ncurses.git",
      "type":"git"
    }
  ]
