The Installer

The Installer is under the General Public License. See the COPYING for further information.

What's that?

The "Installer" is a simple shell which allows you to create custom modules on Magento.

V2

The second version will be developped with the Console component of Symfony. If you want help us to build it, let me know!

Install

Via Docker

Run the following:

cd docker-binary && docker build --tag installer:latest .

Then you can use the docker image like this where you want to use the Installer:

docker run --rm -ti -v $PWD:/work installer:latest

On UNIX

Puppet file: https://github.com/monsieurbiz/vagrant-magento/blob/master/puppet/modules/tools/manifests/installer.pp

# step by step
git clone git://github.com/jacquesbh/installer.git /usr/local/src/installer
ln -s /usr/local/src/installer/bin/Installer /usr/local/bin/installer

Don't forget to pull sometimes ;)

cd /usr/local/src/Installer && git pull

On Windows

... Sorry dude ;)

Howto

Configure

Each time I need to use The Installer, I've a git repository.
Because it's always a Magento project and I always use git as SCM.

git config jbh-installer.company-name "The Company"
git config jbh-installer.company-name-short "company"
git config jbh-installer.user-name "John Doe"
git config jbh-installer.user-email "john.doe@example.org"
git config jbh-installer.company-url "http://example.org"

You can use the following configuration path:

• path: The path to the "app" directory. (optional)
• company-name: The name of your company.
• company-name-short: The namespace of your company.
• company-url: The website url of your company.
• user-name: Your name.
• user-email: Your email.
• license: The license used. "All rights reserved" as default.
• design: The project's design. "base_default" as default.
• locales: The project's locales. "fr_FR,en_US" as default.

In the lastest version the Installer will ask you those information.

Binary

You can use the binary bin/Installer.

Just create a simple symlink link.

Run it!

With your shell, go under your magento dir, like that :

$ cd ~/Sites/magento/

Then run the Installer! (with the function above)

Documentation

If you want generate a documentation for your modules, you can do it! And the Installer is helpful!

> doc Title if you want :)

This command creates a simple directory named doc with a file README.md.

The idea is to use Easybook for generate the documentation in PDF or website formats.

system.xml & adminhtml.xml

You can generate those files but you need to edit them after. It's customized samples.
