Command Line Installer
Known allows you to install Known via the command line, this can be handy for scripted installs, using non-MySQL database backends, or when installing over a terminal connection to a remote server.
The Basics
Go in to /warmup/CLI
, and you'll see CLIInstaller
.
To install a brand new Known using an interactive install simply run
./CLIInstaller install
The Manifest
A manifest is used to pass configuration options to the CLI installer so that you won't be prompted for them. This is useful for scripting installs.
First, generate a manifest template:
./CLIInstaller generate-manifest /path/to/manifest
Next, edit that file and fill in the appropriate option.
Now, you are able to pass these options to the installer:
./CLIInstaller install config.ini /path/to/manifest
You'll also notice I'm specifying the config.ini
ini file to write to, you can write this config to other files as necessary, which is handy if you're using per-domain configuration.
Other options
The CLI installer has a few other options that might be useful:
Checking requirements
If you just want to check that your server has the necessary requirements to run Known, you can execute:
./CLIInstaller.php check-requirements
Generate config from manifest
If you want to generate a config file, but without going through the full install (useful if you want to generate a new domain config in a script), you can use the following command to do so
./CLIInstaller.php makeconfig /path/to/manifest
This will output the new config to stdOut. You can save it to an ini file as appropriate!
