Installing¶
PHPBench can be installed either as dependency for your project or as a global package.
Install as a PHAR package¶
Installing as a PHAR is convenient, you will need to download the phar and the public key, this can be done with CURL as follows:
$ curl -o phpbench.phar https://phpbench.github.io/phpbench/phpbench.phar
$ curl -o phpbench.phar.pubkey https://phpbench.github.io/phpbench/phpbench.phar.pubkey
You will probably then want make it executable and put it in your systems global path, on Linux systems:
$ chmod 0755 phpbench.phar
$ sudo mv phpbench.phar /usr/local/bin/phpbench
$ sudo mv phpbench.phar.pubkey /usr/local/bin/phpbench.pubkey
You can update the version at any time by using the self-update
command:
$ phpbench self-update
Warning
PHPBench is unstable, installing as a PHAR means that you are always updating to the latest version, the latest version may include BC breaks. Therefore it is recommended to include the package as a project dependency for continuous-integration.
Composer Install¶
To install PHPBench as a dependency of your project:
$ composer require phpbench/phpbench @dev --dev
You may then run PHPBench from your project’s directory as follows:
$ ./vendor/bin/phpbench
Composer Global Install¶
You may install PHPBench globally using composer:
$ composer global require phpbench/phpbench @dev
Note
You will need to add Composer’s global bin
directory to your systems
PATH
variable (on linux). See the above link.
You may now run PHPBench simply as:
$ phpbench
