Download the PHP
package matomo/matomo-php-tracker without Composer
On this page you can find all versions of the php package
matomo/matomo-php-tracker. It is possible to download/install
these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved
automatically.
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.

Installation
Composer
Manually
Alternatively, you can download the files and require the Matomo tracker manually:
Error handling and timeouts
By default a tracking request that fails to reach Matomo (DNS, connection or timeout errors)
throws a RuntimeException, so if you call the tracker inline in a page you should either wrap
it in a try/catch or opt into fail-safe behavior:
The default timeouts are intentionally short so a slow or unreachable Matomo cannot block the
calling page for long: 5 seconds total and 2 seconds to connect. Raise them for slow
endpoints or large synchronous imports:
Combined, this means an unreachable Matomo throws (or, in fail-safe mode, returns false) after
at most a few seconds rather than hanging the request. Bulk tracking (doBulkTrack()) uses a more
generous timeout automatically and keeps the queued actions if a batch fails so it can be retried.
Development
Install the development dependencies with Composer and use the provided scripts:
PHPStan and PHP_CodeSniffer are also run for every pull request via GitHub Actions.
