Setup FW Installer for Development

This tutorial assumes that you have completed the FW Installation for Windows up until the "Download FW Installer" heading. If you have not, please complete that at this time. If you intend to develop the FW Installer, instead of doing the normal setup, instead substitute the following steps:

  1. Download the most recent Box version's box.phar file, from here, and put it in your webroot/bin folder. Then create the box.cmd file in the following way:
C:\Users\[yourUserName]\webroot\bin> echo php "C:/Users/[yourUserName]/webroot/bin/box.phar" %* > box.cmd
  1. Clone the FW installer, and build the FW installer command.
C:\Users\[yourUserName]\webroot> git clone https://bitbucket.org/linformatics/fw-installer

  1. Edit your php.ini file with the following changes (in addition to the php configurations to the php.ini file in the FW Installation process linked above).

    • Search for "curl.cainfo", and change the line to the following: curl.cainfo = "C:/Windows/cacert.pem"
    • Search for "openssl.dll" and ensure the line extension=php_openssl.dll is uncommented (no semicolon)

  2. Build the fw.phar file from the code you downloaded, instead of downloading the file. To do this, run the following command:

C:\Users\[yourUserName]\webroot\fw-installer> composer run-script build

Note: This command MAY error on Windows machines due to shasum not being defined. If that is the case:

  • Modify composer.json and remove "&& shasum -a 1 fw.phar > fw.version" (don't push this change)
  • Rerun the command

  1. You MAY need to move your fw.phar file from webroot/fw-installer to webroot/bin (the build command should do this, but if it doesn't then you will need to move it).

  2. Make the proper fw.cmd file by navigating to you webroot/bin folder and running this command:

C:\Users\[yourUserName]\webroot\bin> echo php “C:/Users/[yourUserName]/webroot/bin/fw.phar” %* > fw.cmd
