In order to run the PHP Linter, Static Analysis, and PHPUnit tests locally you will need to have PHP installed on your host machine first.

Linux & WSL:

If you're distro cannot find the correct package or installs the wrong version you may have to specify php8.2 in each package name

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y php8.2 php8.2-cli php8.2-curl php8.2-xml php8.2-mbstring 

You may need to install the PHP PPA for certain versions of PHP

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt update

MacOS

brew install php

If you are missing extensions you can install them with PECL which will be installed automatically with PHP, but you should have everything required by default.

Windows

Download php 8.2 as a zip file under the thread safe category. Then extract the contents of the zip to a folder, and add the path to that folder to your path system variable. It's suggested that one extracts the contents of the zip to a folder called php, which can be put at C:\php for simplicity. You can then add C:\php to your path system environment variable.

Verify you have PHP installed correctly, submitty requires at least version 8.2
