Install package [](#1-install-package) Run the following command in your application's root directory: ``` composer require dotkernel/dot-cli ``` ### 2. Register ConfigProvider [](#2-register-configprovider) Open your application's `config/config.php` and the following line under the *DK packages* comment: ``` Dot\Cli\ConfigProvider::class, ``` ### 3. Copy bootstrap file [](#3-copy-bootstrap-file) Locate file `bin/cli.php` in this package, then copy it to your application's `bin/` directory. This is the bootstrap file you will use to execute your commands with. ### 4. Copy config file [](#4-copy-config-file) Locate in this package the following file `config/autoload/cli.global.php` then copy it to your application's `config/autoload/` directory. This is the config file you will add your commands to. Testing ------- [](#testing) Using the command line, go to your application's root directory, then type the following command: ``` php ./bin/cli.php ``` The output should look similar to this, containing information on how to start using dot-cli: ``` Dotkernel CLI 1.0.0 Usage: command [options] [arguments] Options: -h, --help Display help for the given command. When no command is given display help for the list command -q, --quiet Do not output any message -V, --version Display this application version --ansi Force ANSI output --no-ansi Disable ANSI output -n, --no-interaction Do not ask any interactive question -v|vv|vvv, --verbose Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug Available commands: help Display help for a command list List commands demo demo:command Demo command description. ``` As shown in `config/autoload/cli.global.php`, dot-cli includes a demo command `demo:command` that will help you understand the basics of creating a new command. For more information, see [laminas-cli documentation](https://docs.laminas.dev/laminas-cli/). Setting up as a cronjob ----------------------- [](#setting-up-as-a-cronjob) ``` * * * * * /opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/php /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/bin/cli.php demo:command -q ``` or ``` * * * * * cd /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/bin && /opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/php ./cli.php demo:command -q ``` Adapt the command to your specifications by replacing **7.4** with your PHP version and **example.com** with your domain name. Note the **-q** (or **--quiet**) option at the end of the command - it serves as a flag to inform the Application that no output should be returned (unless it's an error).
