Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### As a PHAR file [](#as-a-phar-file) The latest version of the console cli tool is available at the following address: #### Installation on Posix Systems [](#installation-on-posix-systems) You simply have to download it and make it executable: ``` curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/concrete https://github.com/concretecms/console/releases/latest/download/concrete.phar chmod +x /usr/local/bin/concrete ``` #### Installation on Windows Systems [](#installation-on-windows-systems) You can download the `concrete.phar` file in a directory listed in your `PATH` environment variable (for example: `C:\Windows\System32`), and create a `concrete.bat` file in the same directory with the following contents: ``` @php "%~dpn0.phar" %* ``` ### With composer [](#with-composer) The concrete console cli tool can also be installed globally with composer ``` composer global require concretecms/console ``` If you haven't already, make sure to add the global composer bin directory to your PATH. ``` export PATH="$(composer global config bin-dir --absolute --quiet):$PATH" ``` Note: This command will update the `PATH` environment variable only for the current session. In order to make it persistent you can add the line ``` export PATH="$(composer global config bin-dir --absolute --quiet):$PATH" ``` To the `$HOME/.profile` file (for the current user only), or to `/etc/profile` (for any user) Running Commands ---------------- [](#running-commands) You can run commands just like this ``` concrete info ``` Which should get you something like: ``` # Location Path to instance: /path/to/my/project/public # concrete5 Version Installed - Yes Core Version - 8.5.4 Version Installed - 8.5.4 Database Version - 20200609145307 ``` If you want to run a command against a different site, or if you've installed the console utility globally, any command that operates against a particular Concrete instance also has an `--instance` option (or `-I` for short.) ``` concrete info --instance=/path/to/my/site ``` Returns ``` # Location Path to instance: /path/to/other/site/web # concrete5 Version Installed - Yes Core Version - 8.5.0 Version Installed - 8.5.0 Database Version - 20190301133300 ``` Roadmap ------- [](#roadmap) The most important items we want to currently focus on are: - Add the ability to dump sites, configurations, files and more into a standardized backup archive. - Add the ability to *restore* a Concrete site from one of these standardized backup archives, by passing a file to a given `concrete restore my_backup.gz` command. - Improved stability of backup and restore - Restore into an uninstalled concrete5 - Backing up a version 6 site After that, we'd be happy to add as many features as you'd like. Should this tool include the ability to create boilerplate block or package code? Absolutely! Should we move code sniffer and code fixing functionality from the core console command to this tool? Yes, please. FAQ --- [](#faq) - Why is this tool not built into the core? ----------------------------------------- [](#why-is-this-tool-not-built-into-the-core) We wanted a unified, standardized place to offer a devops and developer's toolkit. The core didn't seem like a great place for it. We want to be able to iterate on this quickly, which means not tying releases of this console utility to releases of the core. Is this tool meant to replace the concrete5 utility that ships with the core? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [](#is-this-tool-meant-to-replace-the-concrete5-utility-that-ships-with-the-core) I don't know yet. Perhaps in the long term, yes – but that seems like an awful lot of work. Let's just focus on making this tool augment and improve the tools *around* Concrete CMS, and slowly sunset the original console utility that's built into the core. ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance4 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity17 Limited adoption so far Community18 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity56 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
