Installation

Boson package is available as Composer repository and can be installed using the following command in a root of your project:

composer create-project boson-php/app boson --prefer-dist

After installation, navigate to your project directory and run the application:

php index.php

The desktop application will open.

Linux	macOS	Windows

Note that BosonPHP is a tool for creating desktop applications, so you don't need a web server or browser - just run the PHP script directly from the console.

Compilation

Once you've finished developing your application, you can compile it into a native executable:

php vendor/bin/boson compile

The compiled executable will be available in the build/ directory for your platform. You can configure which platforms to compile for in the boson.json file.
