Local AMP Setup

This document is intended to be a minimum requirement recommendation for local development software.

It is not intended to replace more robust developing environments such as Vagrant or Dev server.

Apache

1. Apache version 2.2.x or greater.

MySQL

1. MySQL version 5.6.x or greater.

PHP

1. PHP version 5.5.x or greater.
2. Install PHP extensions: mcrypt, xdebug, gettext, gd, intl, mbstring

Instructions for Mac OS X

All of the installations on the Mac rely on Homebrew.

Any installations with brew should never use sudo.

1. install homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

You may be asked to install the Xcode developer tools at some point in the installation, make sure you install them and try to run Xcode in the GUI if possible afterward.

2. tap dupes (essentially register a repo)

brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php

3.  install PHP

brew install php55

4. install PHP extensions and dependencies

brew install autoconf icu4c libtool ossp-uuid php55-phalcon postgresql sqlite
brew install wget freetype jpeg mcrypt pcre php55-xdebug readline subversion zlib gettext libpng mysql php55-intl

5. Update bash environment paths.

1. Open (create if not there) the .profile file in your home directory.
2. Add these entries to the file. Replace existing entries, if any.
3. Replace myusername with your exact user name as seen on the command line in Terminal.

export PATH=$(brew --prefix josegonzalez/php/php55)/bin:/usr/local/bin:/Users/myusername/phalcon-tools:$PATH
export PTOOLSPATH=/Users/myusername/phalcon-tools

php.ini comment out svn.so extension include

php5.conf in apache2/other

add line

LoadModule php5_module $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Cellar/php55/5.5.8/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

If you need to unsinstall Homebrew

uninstall homebrew

cd `brew --prefix`
rm -rf Cellar
brew prune
rm -rf Library .git .gitignore bin/brew README.md share/man/man1/brew
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew
