This page describes how to setup a development enviroment for sameAs Lite.

You should be familiar with the Deployer's Guide and have installed the software listed in it.

Install GraphViz

GraphViz is open source graph visualisation software. It is used to create images for API documentation.

Ubuntu 14.04

Install:

$ apt-get install graphviz
$ dot -V
dot - graphviz version 2.36.0 (20140111.2315)

Scientific Linux 7

Install:

$ yum install graphviz
$ dot -V
dot - graphviz version 2.30.1 (20140505.1332)

Fedora 21

Install:

$ yum install graphviz
$ dot -V
dot - graphviz version 2.38.0 (20140413.2041)

Install Patch

Patch is a tool to update, or patch, files. It is used by PHP_CodeSniffer to fix files that violate coding standards.

Ubuntu 14.04

Patch is already provided:

$ patch -v
GNU patch 2.7.1

Scientific Linux 7

Install:

$ yum install patch
$ patch -v
GNU patch 2.7.1

Fedora 21

Install:

$ yum install patch
$ patch -v

Create GitHub account and application token

GitHub is a popular project hosting infrastructure. An account is needed use PHP Composer to install sameAs Lite's PHP dependencies.

Create an account on GitHub.

Create an application token:

  • Log in to GitHub
  • Click settings cog
  • Click Applications
  • Click Personal access tokens
  • Click Generate new token
  • Enter Token description: PHP Composer
  • Click Generate token
  • Copy application token

Register application token with Composer

$ /usr/bin/composer.phar config -g github-oauth.github.com TOKEN

This stores the token in ~/.composer.

Install Xdebug (optional)

Xdebug is a profiler and code analyser for PHP. It can be used with PHPUnit to create test coverage reports.

Ubuntu 14.04

Install:

$ apt-get install php5-dev php-pear
$ pecl install xdebug

Find library:

$ find / -name 'xdebug.so' 2> /dev/null
/usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so

Edit /etc/php/apache2/php.ini and add in the following lines, replacing the path to the library if necessary:

[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so"

Edit /etc/php/cli/php.ini and, again, add in the above lines, replacing the path to the library if necessary.

Restart Apache:

$ service apache restart

Scientific Linux 7

Install:

$ yum install php-devel php-pear
$ pecl install xdebug

Find library:

$ find / -name 'xdebug.so' 2> /dev/null
/usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so

Find library:

$ find / -name 'xdebug.so' 2> /dev/null
/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so

Edit /etc/php.ini and add in the following lines, replacing the path to the library if necessary:

[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so"

Restart Apache:

$ systemctl restart httpd.service

Fedora 21

Install:

$ yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake
$ yum install php-devel php-pear
$ pecl install xdebug

Find library:

$ find / -name 'xdebug.so' 2> /dev/null
/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so

Edit /etc/php.ini and add in the following lines, replacing the path to the library if necessary:

[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so"

Restart Apache:

$ apachectl restart

Check Xdebug has been installed

Visit http://127.0.0.1/index.php, and scroll down and you should see:

with Xdebug v2.3.2, Copyright (c) 2002-2015, by Derick Rethans

Scroll down and there should be an xdebug section and configuration tables.

Run:

$ php /var/www/html/index.php | grep -in xdebug | more

and you should see xdebug-related configuration.

Install KCachegrind (optional)

KCachegrind is an open source profile data visualization tool. It can visualise Xdebug profiling data.

Ubuntu 14.04

$ apt-get install kcachegrind
$ kcachegrind -v

KDE Development Platform: 4.13.3
KCachegrind: 0.7.4kde

Scientific Linux 7

$ yum install kcachegrind
$ kcachegrind -v
Qt: 4.8.5
KDE Development Platform: 4.10.5
KCachegrind: 0.7.2kde

Fedora 21

$ yum install kcachegrind
$ kcachegrind -v
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.6
KCachegrind: 0.7.4kde

Install callgrind_annotate (optional)

callgrind_annotate can filter Xdebug profiling data. It is part of the Valgrind instrumentation framework.

Ubuntu 14.04

If you have installed KCachegrind then valgrind will already be available.

Alternatively:

$ apt-get install valgrind
$ valgrind --version
valgrind-3.10.0.SVN

$ valgrind --version
valgrind-3.10.0
$ callgrind_annotate --version
callgrind_annotate-3.10.0

$ yum install valgrind
$ valgrind --version
valgrind-3.10.1
$ callgrind_annotate --version
callgrind_annotate-3.10.1

Install PHP development tools

Run:

$ make install-dev
# install libraries to run tests, generate documentation, etc
/usr/bin/composer.phar update --dev

Troubleshooting - The requested PHP extension ext-xsl is missing from your system

If you see:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
  Problem 1
    - The requested PHP extension ext-xsl * is missing from your system.
  Problem 2
    - phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor v2.0.0 requires phpdocumentor/template-zend ~1.3 -> satisfiable by phpdocumentor/template-zend[1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.3.2].
    ...
    - phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor v2.8.2 requires phpdocumentor/template-zend ~1.3 -> satisfiable by phpdocumentor/template-zend[1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.3.2].
    - phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor v2.3.1 requires dompdf/dompdf dev-master@dev -> no matching package found.
    ...
    - phpdocumentor/template-zend 1.3.2 requires ext-xsl * -> the requested PHP extension xsl is missing from your system.
    ...
    - Installation request for phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor * -> satisfiable by phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor[v2.0.0, v2.0.1, v2.1.0, v2.2.0, v2.3.0, v2.3.1, v2.3.2, v2.4.0, v2.5.0, v2.6.0, v2.6.1, v2.7.0, v2.7.1, v2.8.0, v2.8.1, v2.8.2].

Potential causes:
 - A typo in the package name
 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
   see <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion> for more details.

Read <http://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.
make: *** [install-dev] Error 2

then you need to install php5-xsl.

Troubleshooting - enter your GitHub credentials to go over the API rate limit

If you see:

    Downloading: connection...
Could not fetch https://api.github.com/repos/phpDocumentor/phpDocumentor2/zipball/1c6a3bd696de9153a0d8596e2fc26cf866ac9c2d, enter your GitHub credentials to go over the API rate limit
A token will be created and stored in "/root/.composer/auth.json", your password will never be stored
To revoke access to this token you can visit https://github.com/settings/applications

Then enter your GitHub username and password, as requested, and installation will continue.

Alternatively, set up an application token as suggested above.
