OpenPSA Installer
=================

[](#openpsa-installer)

Installation and setup tools for [OpenPSA](http://openpsa2.org)/[MidCOM](http://midgard-project.org/midcom/) packages and projects.

Composer Support
----------------

[](#composer-support)

Due to the logic of [Composer](http://getcomposer.org), this basically consists of two parts, a custom installer, that is to say, an implementation of `Composer\Installer\InstallerInterface` which is used for packages installed in the `vendor` directory, and static functions that are run from script hooks in the root package.

What the installer will do is link all the schema files to the central Midgard 2 schema dir, and all the static directories (both from themes and from components' static folders) to `midcom-static`, so that they are accessible via the web server.

### Usage

[](#usage)

To use the installer in a libary or component, simply set the `type` key to `midcom-package` in `composer.json`. You should also add `openpsa/installer` to your `require`s.

To use the installer in a root package, add `openpsa/installer` to your `require`s in `composer.json`. Additionally, add the following hooks:

```
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "openpsa\\installer\\installer::setup_root_package"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "openpsa\\installer\\installer::setup_root_package"
        ]
    },
```

Database setup
--------------

[](#database-setup)

The installer package contains a CLI utility to set up new databases. From your project's root directory, you can run it like this:

```
./vendor/bin/openpsa-installer midgard2:setup
```

You can pass the name or location of an existing Midgard2 configuration file as an argument to the script, or you can optionally specify the DB type you want to create. Run

```
./vendor/bin/openpsa-installer help midgard2:setup
```

to see all available options.
