Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### General installation procedure [](#general-installation-procedure) Only `caq.sh`() is really required, download it into a location available via PATH and make it executable. That's all. ### Install using [PHP](http://php.net/ "A widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.") [](#install-using-php) ``` php -r \ "copy('https://raw.github.com/websafe/caq/master/caq.sh', '/usr/bin/caq');" chmod +x /usr/bin/caq ``` ### Install using [GNU Wget](http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/ "A free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols. It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from scripts, cron jobs, terminals without X-Windows support, etc.") [](#install-using-gnu-wget) ``` wget -nc \ https://raw.github.com/websafe/caq/master/caq.sh \ -O /usr/bin/caq chmod +x /usr/bin/caq ``` `-ns` stands for `--no-clobber`: > -nc, --no-clobber skip downloads that would download to existing files (overwriting them). ### Install using [Lynx](http://lynx.isc.org/ "Lynx is a highly configurable text-based web browser for use on cursor-addressable character cell terminals.") [](#install-using-lynx) ``` lynx -dump \ https://raw.github.com/websafe/caq/master/caq.sh \ > /usr/bin/caq chmod +x /usr/bin/caq ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Basic usage [](#basic-usage) Basic usage is: ``` caq / ``` Examples -------- [](#examples) ### Example 1.

TODO ---- [](#todo) - create documentation describing \[Profiles\] - classmap\_generator after installing deps - User configs profiles in ~/.caq/ - User templates for faster creation of projects (stored in ~/.caq/templates) - Plugins - Profiles testsuite - travis - Windows/Cygwin compatible How caq works ------------- [](#how-caq-works) ### The basic procedure [](#the-basic-procedure) **THIS SECTION IS INCOMPLETE** 1. If there is a \[Skeleton Application\] URI configured, try to clone this repo into projects root directory. If no skeleton URI was configured, skip to next step. 2. Install [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/ "Dependency Manager for PHP") in vendor/bin of projects root directory. 3. Selfupdate the previously installed [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/ "Dependency Manager for PHP") 4. Install all packages ([Composer](http://getcomposer.org/ "Dependency Manager for PHP") packages) configured for the current Profile. If no packages were defined, skip to next step. Basically, when You don't define a Skeleton Application URI (SA) and don't define any packages (PKG/PKGD) You'll end up with an empty project, containing: ``` empty |-- .git |-- vendor | |-- bin | | `-- composer.phar | |-- composer | | |-- ClassLoader.php | | |-- autoload_classmap.php | | |-- autoload_namespaces.php | | `-- autoload_real.php | `-- autoload.php |-- LICENSE |-- README.md `-- composer.json ``` License ------- [](#license) caq - Composed Application Quickstarter () Copyright (c) 2013 Thomas Szteliga , Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
