Easy way to install PHP QA tools • Fran Dieguez

If you need an easy and quick way to install your PHP QA tools, you can use the next bash snippet.

# Install composer based tools
cat > ~/.composer/composer.json <<EOF
{
    "require": {
        "halleck45/phpmetrics": "@dev",
        "squizlabs/php_codesniffer": "*",
        "phpunit/phpunit": "*",
        "sebastian/phpcpd": "*",
        "sebastian/phpdcd": "*",
        "phpmd/phpmd" : "@stable",
        "pdepend/pdepend" : "@stable",
        "phploc/phploc": "*",
        "sebastian/hhvm-wrapper": "*",
        "theseer/phpdox": "*"
    }
}
EOF
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- \
 --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
/usr/local/bin/composer global install
chown -R $SUDO_USER.$SUDO_USER ~/.composer

And all your required tools (phpunit, phploc, phpmd, pdepend, …) are now located at ~/.composer/vendor/bin, so set your $PATH environment variable to include it.

If you find it useful please share it.
