Dependency Management: Composer

[EXreaction]

No, they won't be phased out.

Composer is used to handle some tasks required when building the release package. These tasks will be handled before the zip package is released to the public so they do not need to worry about composer.

Parts of Symfony are used for various features that are included in 3.1.

To clarify about the vendor directory, it was decided not to add it to the repository because it is created during the composer install process.

You have composer.phar in phpBB's parent directory?

If not, copy it from the root of the download file into the phpBB's parent folder.

You can have composer.phar in the phpBB3 folder and install by php ./composer.phar install --dev (notice the ./ path instead of ../)

EDIT For clarity:

1. You download https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/tarball/develop or https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/archive/develop.zip.
2. Extract and copy the phpBB folder to your localhost root.
3. Copy composer.phar from the extracted download root to localhost root.
4. From localhost root in terminal / command prompt ..

   Code: Select all

   cd phpBB
   php ../composer.phar install --dev

Thanks oddfish

Now get me this message.

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Class 'Phar' not found in /home/starrk/public_html/area51/composer.phar on line 13

Already check that the files are properly uploaded to their respective folders.

Are you using >=php 5.3.3 and if so, does Phar appear in your phpinfo() ?

5.3.23 ≠ 5.3.3

Update your php version to >=5.3.3 and you will be good to go.

5.3.23 ≠ 5.3.3

Update your php version to >=5.3.3 and you will be good to go.

5.3.23 is actually newer than 5.3.3. ".23" does not mean ".2.3"
