After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.

Informations about the package drush-launcher

Alternatives now that this project is archived.

Add ./vendor/bin to the front of your $PATH. This relative path works for any Drupal codebase on your system if you run commands from the project root. And it is harmless otherwise. Other options include direnv, fd, or the scripts in this issue.

Description

In order to avoid dependency issues, it is best to require Drush on a per-project basis via Composer (composer require drush/drush). This makes Drush available to your project by placing it at vendor/bin/drush.

However, it is inconvenient to type vendor/bin/drush in order to execute Drush commands. By installing the drush launcher globally on your local machine, you can simply type drush on the command line, and the launcher will find and execute the project specific version of drush located in your project's vendor directory.

Installation - Phar

  1. Download latest stable release via CLI (code below) or browse to https://github.com/drush-ops/drush-launcher/releases/latest.

    OSX:

    Linux:

  2. Make downloaded file executable: chmod +x drush.phar

  3. Move drush.phar to a location listed in your $PATH, rename to drush:

  4. Windows users: create a drush.bat file in the same folder as drush.phar with the following lines. This gets around the problem where Windows does not know that the drush file is associated with php:

Update

The Drush Launcher Phar is able to self update to the latest release.

Fallback

When a site-local Drush is not found, this launcher usually throws a helpful error. You may avoid the error and instead hand off execution to a global Drush (any version) by exporting an environment variable.

export DRUSH_LAUNCHER_FALLBACK=/path/to/drush

Xdebug compatibility

Drush Launcher, like Composer automatically disables Xdebug by default. This improves performance substantially. You may override this feature by setting an environment variable. DRUSH_ALLOW_XDEBUG=1 drush [command]
