Installing Yugal

Installing PHP Enviroment

PHP environment is necessary for Yugal projects to test and run. In local computer you can install any PHP environment you are comfortable with. Here we are installing XAMPP .

Installing XAMPP is very easy, just download respective package from https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html suitable for your OS and install it as you do with any other software.

Install Python

You may think that if you need Python then why should not you develop backend directly on Python, you are right. You can do that but you will need expensive servers or hosting for that, PHP is available in any server, let it be cheaper or expensive. Here we are using Python to run CLI only, so that you do not have to take care of switching between modes.

Download and install Python from its official site. Make sure that you check pip and Environment Variables checkbox while installation. In most of Linux distributions Python is pre installed. Therefore if you are using using Linux, then try running python or python3 in your terminal to check if Python is already installed.

Install Yugal CLI

After installing Python, run the command below to install Yugal CLI.

pip install yugal
