Installation on MODX Cloud - Anyone got it running?

[sonicpunk]

I went through the steps, installed Gitify, Composer, ran the composer install script... changed CHMOD.

From within my Gitify folder, the terminal tells me that Gitify is not found.
Here is my file structure:

Anyone have a tip?

If you haven't added Gitify to your path, then sometimes you need to user ./Gitify rather than Gitify to execute it. Have you tried that?

[sonicpunk]

yes, I get the following -ash: ./Gitify not found

After chatting with the lovely Elizabeth, this is an environment specific issue on the particular Cloud instance you're using.

The workaround is to edit the Gitify file, and to change the first line to #!/bin/php instead of #!/usr/bin/env php. That's not very portable, so I wont be making that change to Gitify, but at least it gets you up and running ;)

This probably isn't an issue on the regular cloud servers.

On a regular cloud instance, - the Amsterdam server I also needed to make this edit to the Gitify file

So I got Gitify running on MODX Cloud except when I type in Gitify --help, I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function Symfony\Component\Console\Descriptor\json_encode() in /www/Gitify/vendor/symfony/console/Symfony/Component/Console/Descriptor/TextDescriptor.php on line 238

Also instead of running composer install, I needed to run it this way $ php composer.phar install

[sonicpunk]

and when I use Gitify build, I get the following error:
Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found in /www/core/xpdo/xpdo.class.php on line 3041

It turns out it was a cloud problem. I have create the following path for people to follow in case they wish to run Gitify on the cloud:

1. run git clone of gitify in the www folder: $ git clone https://github.com/modmore/Gitify.git Gitify
2. install composer inside of the new Gitify folder: curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
3. $ php composer.phar install - install the dependencies needed for Gitify
4. $ chmod +x Gitify
5. if needed, change the php path in the Gitify/Gitify file - #!/bin/php
6. make Gitify global - open the profile: vi ~/.profile
7. press i to edit
8. add path to Gitify export PATH=/www/Gitify/:$PATH - you can find it under home/.profile
9. restart the .profile file: . .profile

Thanks for the steps @sonicpunk! There's a typo in step 8:
PATH:/www/Gitify/:$PATH should be PATH=/www/Gitify/:$PATH.

Thanks @ajilderda I edited my comment above

The same steps as above, but a bit easier to copy paste for us lazy people. Ssh-login to your MODX Cloud instance:

cd www
git clone https://github.com/modmore/Gitify.git Gitify
cd Gitify
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install
chmod +x Gitify
nano Gitify

change first line from #!/usr/bin/env php to #!/bin/php

nano ~/.profile

add PATH=/www/Gitify/:$PATH

source ~/.profile
cd ..
Gitify

UPDATE: The following is no longer necessary and will break Gitify (at least it did on my cloud instance)

change first line from #!/usr/bin/env php to #!/bin/php

Seems to work fine with the first line left as is
