About

Rapix Installer is a command-line tool designed to quickly scaffold new Rapix PHP Framework projects. With a single command, you can create a fully configured Rapix project with all dependencies installed and ready to go.

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.3
• Composer
• Git

Installation

Install the Rapix Installer globally via Composer:

composer global require salehnevergiveup/rapix-installer

Make sure your global Composer bin directory is in your system's PATH. You can add it by including this in your shell configuration file (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.):

export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

After installation, verify it's working:

rapix version

Usage

Creating a New Project

To create a new Rapix project, use the new command followed by your desired project name:

rapix new my-awesome-project

This command will:

1. ✅ Validate the project name
2. 📁 Create a new directory with your project name
3. 📦 Clone the Rapix framework repository
4. 🔧 Install all Composer dependencies automatically

Example:

rapix new blog-api
cd blog-api

Commands

new

Create a new Rapix project.

rapix new <project-name>

Arguments:

• <project-name> - The name of your new project (required)

Example:

rapix new ecommerce-platform

Display the current version of Rapix Installer.

  rapix new <project name>    create new project
  rapix version               list rapix versions
  rapix help                  list help list

Project Structure

After creating a new project, you'll have the following structure:

my-project/
├── app/
├── config/
├── public/
├── routes/
├── vendor/
├── composer.json
└── ...

Validation

The installer includes built-in validation to ensure smooth project creation:

• ✅ Checks if project name is provided
• ✅ Verifies the directory doesn't already exist
• ✅ Ensures all required commands (git, composer) are available

Troubleshooting

Command not found

If you receive a "command not found" error after installation:

1. Ensure Composer's global bin directory is in your PATH
2. Run composer global config bin-dir --absolute to find the directory
3. Add that directory to your PATH

Permission denied

If you encounter permission issues:

chmod +x ~/.composer/vendor/bin/rapix

Project already exists

If you try to create a project with a name that already exists in the current directory, the installer will notify you and abort the operation.
