php-build
php-build is a utility for building versions of PHP to use them side by side with each other. The overall structure is loosly borrowed from Sam Stephenson's ruby-build.
Overview
Installation
phpenv
plugin
As phpenv via installer
WithIt's the standard way: installs phpenv
in $HOME/.phpenv (default $PHPENV_ROOT value).
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phpenv/phpenv-installer/master/bin/phpenv-installer \
| bash
See more on https://github.com/phpenv/phpenv-installer: install phpenv + php-build/php-build (and other plugins), updating all of them when you want to!
phpenv
manually
With Locate your phpenv directory:
% ls $HOME/.phpenv
Clone the Git repository into phpenv plugins directory:
% git clone git://github.com/php-build/php-build.git $HOME/.phpenv/plugins/php-build
Now you can use php-build as phpenv plugin, as follows:
% phpenv install <definition>
The built version will be installed into $HOME/.phpenv/versions/<definition>
.
php-build
As standalone Clone the Git Repository:
% git clone git://github.com/php-build/php-build.git
Then go into the extracted/cloned directory and run:
% ./install.sh
This installs php-build
to the default prefix /usr/local
.
To install php-build to an other location than /usr/local
set the PREFIX
environment variable:
% PREFIX=$HOME/local ./install.sh
If you don't have permissions to write to the prefix, then you have to run install.sh
as superuser, either via su -c
or via sudo
.
