System

This outlines the relevant system setup and packaging used to create Chevere.

Operating System

Chevere is build and tested on Ubuntu (opens new window) ubuntu-latest.

PHP

Chevere is PHP (opens new window) software.

• PHP packages (opens new window) from Ondřej Surý.
• PHP extensions (opens new window) provided by PECL (opens new window).

Packages and PECL provides the same convenience, but as packages are made for debian-based systems you should prefer PECL if you don't have a compatible system.

Packages vs PECL

Note that packages not only contain the software, it could also trigger other effects in the system.
