This repository contains the class Zend\ComponentInstaller\ComponentInstaller, which provides Composer event hooks for the events:

• post-package-install
• post-package-uninstall

In order to utilize these, you will need to add the ComponentInstaller classfile to your project, make it autoloadable, and then add its relevant static methods as scripts for the above events.

This package provides two ways for doing that: as a global composer utility, or via a downloadable, self-updateable PHAR.

To install the utility via Composer:

$ composer global require zendframework/zend-component-installer

Once installed, assuming that the Composer bin/ directory is on your $PATH, you can then execute the following:

$ zend-component-installer install <path>

where <path> is the path to a project in which you want to install the component installer tools. If <path> is omitted, the utility assumes the current working directory should be used.

Note: Composer installation not yet supported!

The above is a planned feature, but does not work currently, as the package is not yet registered with Packagist.

The PHAR file is downloadable at:

• https://weierophinney.github.io/component-installer/zend-component-installer.phar

The public key for verifying the package is at:

• https://weierophinney.github.io/component-installer/zend-component-installer.phar.pubkey

You will need to download both files, to the same directory, for the utility to work; additionally, the name of the key must not be changed.. Once downloaded, make the the PHAR file executable.

Once installed, you can then execute the following:

$ zend-component-installer.phar install <path>

where <path> is the path to a project in which you want to install the component installer tools. If <path> is omitted, the utility assumes the current working directory should be used.

The PHAR file is self-updateable via the self-update command; this feature requires PHP 5.6, however, due to SSL/TLS negotiation requirements.
