Package Installer Plugin

Install cakephp packages (plugins, applications, utilities) using this plugin. VERY BETA, NOT FUNCTIONAL IN THE SLIGHTEST.

Background

I originally built the Github Plugin Plugin about two years ago, while experimenting with installing plugins from github. Then I built CakePackages, which is a cakephp plugin, application, and utility indexer. And now I’m releasing this, so you can install cakephp-related code at will.

Requirements

• PHP 5 >= 5.2.0 or PECL json >= 1.2.0
• CakePHP 1.3
• Internet (if you want to install/search for packages)
• Patience
• GIT for package installation. No other (D)VCS systems are supported atm.

Installation

[Manual]

1. Download this: http://github.com/josegonzalez/package_installer/zipball/master
2. Unzip that download.
3. Copy the resulting folder to app/plugins
4. Rename the folder you just copied to [PLUGIN_NAME]

[GIT Submodule]

In your app directory type:

git submodule add git://github.com/josegonzalez/package_installer.git plugins/package_installer
git submodule init
git submodule update

[GIT Clone]

In your plugin directory type

git clone git://github.com/josegonzalez/package_installer.git package_installer
