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.
Informations about the package package-installer
Ultimate Package Installer
This package provides a cli interface for fast and easy package install (any package, not only laravel-specific).
Example:
Why?
How do you install a package?
You go to github or packagist or google, search for desired package, see it's full name and available versions, then require it via composer's cli or manually patch composer.json, then you search in readme what service providers and facades this package provide and manually copypast them to config, then publish configs and assets manually... That's annoying! Machine must do this.
And here is the solution.
Installation

How to use
1. Search for a package or install a known one:
Search for a package on composer. This will output list of found packages with numeric select. Default selection is the fisrt package in list.
This will install yaap/theme package. If there is no such package it will fallback to search.
2. Select version
When package selected you will be promted to choose a version from list of availables by number.
Default selection is the latest stable version if present. If no stable present — then dev-master is selected.
3. PROFIT!
Installer will now update composer.json, install the package, search for ServiceProviders and Facades, patch app/config/app.php and publish package configs and assets. It also respects Ryan's package installer provides.json but still will make the work without it.
What problems can you face with
The only problem that I've discovered is that some packages contain facades, that shouldn't be included in app config, but they do and this can break application and should be manually fixed (but this is very easy).
As an example — orchestra/support contains about 20 facades and they collide with Laravel facades.
Package Installer handles this safely by commenting colliding aliases
so in such case you should manually remove redundant aliases and uncomment old ones.
TODO:
- Fully automatic (silent) mode
- Passthrough parameters to composer cli
- Deal with environment-specific packages
- Unittesting
