This is the XP Framework's development checkout.

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

[](#installation)

If you just want to use the XP Framework, grab a release using `composer require xp-framework/core`. If you wish to use this development checkout, clone this repository instead.

### Runners

[](#runners)

The entry point for software written in the XP Framework is not the PHP interpreter's CLI / web server API but either a command line runner or a specialized *web* entry point. These runners can be installed by using the following one-liner:

```
$ cd ~/bin
$ curl -sSL https://github.com/xp-runners/reference/releases/download/v9.2.0/setup-9.2.0.sh | sh
```

### Using it

[](#using-it)

To use the the XP Framework development checkout, put the following in your `~/bin/xp.ini` file:

```
use=/path/to/xp/core
```

Finally, start `xp -v` to see it working:

```
$ xp -v
XP 12.8.1-dev { PHP/8.5.2 & Zend/4.5.2 } @ Windows NT SURFACE 10.0 build 26200 (Windows 11) AMD64
