How to Install PHPCI on NetBSD

PHPCI is an open-source continuous integration platform specially designed for PHP projects. It helps PHP developers to automate their testing and deployment process. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing PHPCI on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

NetBSD 9.0 or higher installed on your system.
PHP 7.3 or higher installed on your system.
Git and Composer installed on your system.

Step 1: Installing PHPCI

Here's how you can install PHPCI on NetBSD:

First, clone the PHPCI repository by running the following command:
```
git clone https://github.com/Block8/PHPCI.git
```
Next, install the required dependencies using Composer. Navigate to the PHPCI directory and run the following command:
```
cd PHPCI
composer install --no-dev
```
This command will install all the required dependencies for PHPCI.
Once the installation is complete, copy the app/config-template.yml file to app/config.yml and edit the values as per your requirements.
```
cp app/config-template.yml app/config.yml
```
Next, create a database and user for PHPCI. You can use any database server of your choice. Here, we will be using PostgreSQL as an example.
```
CREATE DATABASE phpci;
CREATE USER phpci WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE phpci TO phpci;
```
Make sure to replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
Finally, run the following command to setup PHPCI:
```
bin/console phpci:install
```
This command will setup PHPCI and create the necessary database tables.
You can now run PHPCI in your web browser by navigating to http://localhost:8080. If everything is setup correctly, you should see the PHPCI dashboard.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed PHPCI on your NetBSD system. You can now use PHPCI to automate your PHP project's testing and deployment process.
