System wide installation - /opt/phpbrew/bashrc not found

[iamnimnul]

Hi there,

I am trying to install System wide phpbrew using guide from https://github.com/phpbrew/phpbrew/wiki/Installing-PHPBrew-into-System-wide-Environment

I am following instructions and have some questions:

Now export phpbrew paths to your desired paths, edit your ~/.phpbrew/bashrc
export PHPBREW_ROOT=/opt/phpbrew # php dist files and build files are stored here
export PHPBREW_HOME=/root/.phpbrew # your configuration files.

It's not clear if it should be added at the top or bottom of the file. Any difference?

Now your php(s) will be installed under the /opt/phpbrew path, to allow your system users to use php(s) built by phpbrew, you need to export PHPBREW_ROOT and PHPBREW_HOME environment in /etc/bashrc or in /etc/profile.d/phpbrew for bash users, before they load the phpbrew/bashrc file.
export PHPBREW_ROOT=/opt/phpbrew
export PHPBREW_HOME=$HOME/.phpbrew
source /opt/phpbrew/bashrc

When I log in as any user on the machine I can see -bash: /opt/phpbrew/bashrc: No such file or directory just after MOTD.
Looks like file /opt/phpbrew/bashrc is not created at any stage and there are no instructions how to initialise it.

Output

-bash: /opt/phpbrew/bashrc: No such file or directory

Platform

OS:
Ubuntu 16.04

Running PHP:
PHP 7.0.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

@MateuszKoguc looks like the documentation is outdated. Please try specifying the --root directory as suggested in README (Setting up). Otherwise, PHPBrew initializes for the root user in a "private" mode and cannot be accessed by other users.

Please share your experience so that we could update the article accordingly.

Initializing using the --root argument no longer seems to fix this issue. /opt/phpbrew/bashrc still does not exist.

I use the latest stable PHPBrew version and it seems the --root option usage is fixed. The issue will be closed.
