Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

push stands for "PHP's Usable SHell" and is meant to be a user-friendly shell written in PHP. The shell itself accepts PHP code as its commands. push's architecture is based on the excellent work done by d11wtq on the Boris REPL project.

The main difference between Boris and push is that we try to make it very easy to embed push in your own application. For example, this means that the standard output/error streams from the shell's worker process can be captured. It also means the default classes used for input/output can be replaced with your own if necessary.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

First, make sure [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) is installed. If not, follow the [installation instructions](https://getcomposer.org/download/)on their website.

Then, make sure the following extensions are installed and enabled for your PHP installation:

- Sockets
- POSIX
- pcntl
- [eio](http://pecl.php.net/eio)

If necessary, install the missing extensions.

Finally, use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install push:

```
me@localhost:~/$ php /path/to/composer.phar require fpoirotte/push
```

-----
