FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Raspicam PHP
Raspicam PHP is a library to control the Raspberry Pi Camera Module with PHP. It is a wrapper around the command line tool raspistill.

Troubleshooting
Since Raspicam PHP is just a wrapper around raspistill, you should first make sure that it works
without issues. This can be done by calling it directly, for example creating a PHP script with just
passthru("raspistill -o /tmp/test.jpg"); and calling it the same way as the script that uses
Raspicam PHP.
Depending on how you are going to execute your PHP code, you might have to adjust some permissions.
The executing user needs access to /dev/vchiq on the Pi. If you are executing from command-line
as the default user, it should just work.
If you are executing through a web server like Apache, you need to adjust the permissions so that the
web server user (www-data in case of Apache) has permission to access it by adding the user to the
group video (with e.g. sudo usermod -a -G video www-data).
Also make sure that the user has permission to write to the file/directory where you are saving the images. The filename is relative to PHP current working directory, but absolute paths can also be used.
