It is distributed as part of [CiviCRM-Buildkit](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-buildkit). Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.4+ - CiviCRM 5.x (*Recommended: any release from the prior 12 months*) - (For MAMP, WAMP, XAMPP, etc) PHP command-line configuration () - (For CentOS/RHEL) Compatible version of libxml2 ([\#19](https://github.com/totten/civix/issues/19)) Download -------- [](#download) `civix` is distributed in PHAR format, which is a portable executable file (for PHP). It should run on most Unix-like systems where PHP is installed. Here are three quick ways to download it: - Download [the latest release of `civix.phar`](https://download.civicrm.org/civix/civix.phar) (*[SHA256](https://download.civicrm.org/civix/civix.SHA256SUMS), [GPG](https://download.civicrm.org/civix/civix.phar.asc)*) and put it in the PATH. For example: ``` sudo curl -LsS https://download.civicrm.org/civix/civix.phar -o /usr/local/bin/civix sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/civix ``` (*Learn more: [Install `civix.phar` as system-wide tool (Linux/BSD/macOS)](doc/download.md#phar-unix)*) - Or... add `civix` and other CiviCRM tools to a composer project (Drupal 9/10/11) ``` composer require civicrm/cli-tools ``` (*Learn more: [Install `civix.phar` as project tool (composer)](doc/download.md#phar-composer)*) - Or... use [phar.io's `phive` installer](https://phar.io/) to download, validate, and cache the `civix.phar` file. ``` phive install totten/civix ``` (*Learn more: [Install `civix.phar` as project tool (phive)](doc/download.md#phar-phive)*) There are several more options for downloading `civix`. See also: - [Download URLs for alternate versions](doc/download.md#urls) - [Comparison of install options](doc/download.md#comparison) - Install `civix` as a system-wide/standalone tool - [Install `civix.phar` (binary) as system-wide tool (Linux/BSD/macOS)](doc/download.md#phar-unix) - [Install `civix.git` (source) as standalone project (Linux/BSD/macOS)](doc/download.md#src-unix) - [Install `civix.git` (source) as standalone project (Windows)](doc/download.md#src-win) - Install `civix` as a tool within another project - [Install `civix.phar` (binary) as project tool (composer)](doc/download.md#phar-composer) - [Install `civix.phar` (binary) as project tool (phive)](doc/download.md#phar-phive) - [Install `civix.git` (source) as project tool (composer)](doc/download.md#src-composer) Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) The [CiviCRM Developer Guide](https://docs.civicrm.org/dev/en/latest/) includes [tutorials for building extensions](https://docs.civicrm.org/dev/en/latest/extensions/civix/) For reference documentation, civix supports a "--help" option. For example, to get reference materials about the "generate:page" command, run: ``` civix generate:page --help ``` Development ----------- [](#development) If you are developing updates for `civix.git`, then see [doc/develop.md](doc/develop.md). It discusses PHAR compilation, unit tests, and similar processes. ### Health Score 60 — FairBetter than 99% of packages Maintenance83 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity35 Limited adoption so far Community30 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity80 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 82% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~53 days Recently: every ~32 days Total 86 Last Release 94d ago Major Versions v21.04.1 → v22.02.02022-02-14 v22.10.2 → v23.02.02023-02-23 v23.12.2 → v24.09.02024-09-18 v24.12.0 → v25.01.02025-01-21 v25.12.0 → v26.01.02026-01-31 PHP version history (5 changes)v13.10.0PHP >=5.3.3 v20.07.1PHP >=7.1.3 v22.05.2PHP >=7.2.0 v23.07.1PHP >=7.3.0 v25.10.1PHP >=7.4.0 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1336047?v=4)[Tim Otten](/maintainers/totten)[@totten](https://github.com/totten) --- Top Contributors [![totten](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1336047?v=4)](https://github.com/totten "totten (1091 commits)")[![colemanw](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2874912?v=4)](https://github.com/colemanw "colemanw (71 commits)")[![eileenmcnaughton](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/336308?v=4)](https://github.com/eileenmcnaughton "eileenmcnaughton (44 commits)")[![pbatroff](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/22370179?v=4)](https://github.com/pbatroff "pbatroff (29 commits)")[![michaelmcandrew](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/209967?v=4)](https://github.com/michaelmcandrew "michaelmcandrew (23 commits)")[![seamuslee001](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6799125?v=4)](https://github.com/seamuslee001 "seamuslee001 (16 commits)")[![semseysandor](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/51154903?v=4)](https://github.com/semseysandor "semseysandor (8 commits)")[![demeritcowboy](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2967821?v=4)](https://github.com/demeritcowboy "demeritcowboy (7 commits)")[![universalhandle](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/871819?v=4)](https://github.com/universalhandle "universalhandle (7 commits)")[![mattwire](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2052161?v=4)](https://github.com/mattwire "mattwire (5 commits)")[![ErichBSchulz](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/951298?v=4)](https://github.com/ErichBSchulz "ErichBSchulz (3 commits)")[![xurizaemon](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/105608?v=4)](https://github.com/xurizaemon "xurizaemon (3 commits)")[![kewljuice](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3306776?v=4)](https://github.com/kewljuice "kewljuice (3 commits)")[![mlutfy](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/254741?v=4)](https://github.com/mlutfy "mlutfy (2 commits)")[![aydun](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2730045?v=4)](https://github.com/aydun "aydun (2 commits)")[![seancolsen](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/42411?v=4)](https://github.com/seancolsen "seancolsen (2 commits)")[![tttp](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/128426?v=4)](https://github.com/tttp "tttp (2 commits)")[![ojhaujjwal](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4995501?v=4)](https://github.com/ojhaujjwal "ojhaujjwal (1 commits)")[![jrobens](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/169989?v=4)](https://github.com/jrobens "jrobens (1 commits)")[![pfigel](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/277794?v=4)](https://github.com/pfigel "pfigel (1 commits)") ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/civicrm-civix/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/civicrm-civix/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/civicrm-civix) ``` ### Alternatives [prestashop/prestashop PrestaShop is an Open Source e-commerce platform, committed to providing the best shopping cart experience for both merchants and customers. 9.0k15.4k](/packages/prestashop-prestashop)[shopware/platform The Shopware e-commerce core 3.3k1.5M3](/packages/shopware-platform)[humbug/php-scoper Prefixes all PHP namespaces in a file or directory. 7963.0M35](/packages/humbug-php-scoper)[drupal/core-recommended Locked core dependencies; require this project INSTEAD OF drupal/core. 6939.5M343](/packages/drupal-core-recommended)[sulu/sulu Core framework that implements the functionality of the Sulu content management system 1.3k1.3M152](/packages/sulu-sulu)[ec-cube/ec-cube EC-CUBE EC open platform. 78527.0k1](/packages/ec-cube-ec-cube) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
