Installing SimpleSAMLphp from the repository
============================================
These are some notes about running SimpleSAMLphp from the repository.
Prerequisites
-------------
Review the [prerequisites](simplesamlphp-install) from the main installation guide.
Installing from git
-------------------
Go to the directory where you want to install SimpleSAMLphp:
```bash
cd /var
```
The `master` branch is not stable and targets the next major release.
Pick a [tag](https://github.com/simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp/tags) to use.
Then do a git clone:
```bash
git clone --branch <tag_name> https://github.com/simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp.git simplesamlphp
```
Initialize configuration and metadata:
```bash
cd /var/simplesamlphp
cp config/config.php.dist config/config.php
cp config/authsources.php.dist config/authsources.php
cp metadata/saml20-idp-hosted.php.dist metadata/saml20-idp-hosted.php
cp metadata/saml20-idp-remote.php.dist metadata/saml20-idp-remote.php
cp metadata/saml20-sp-remote.php.dist metadata/saml20-sp-remote.php
```
The default config.php has a setting `cachedir` which defaults to
`/var/cache/simplesamlphp`. This directory should exist and be
writable by the web server user. You may like to consider something
like the ACL commands from the [Symfony
website](https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/file_permissions.html#1-using-acl-on-a-system-that-supports-setfacl-linux-bsd)
to enable access to this cache directory.
Install the external dependencies with Composer (you can refer to
[getcomposer.org](https://getcomposer.org/) to get detailed
instructions on how to install Composer itself):
```bash
php composer.phar install
```
When installing on Windows, use:
```bash
php composer.phar install --ignore-platform-req=ext-posix
```
Upgrading
---------
Go to the root directory of your SimpleSAMLphp installation:
```bash
cd /var/simplesamlphp
```
Ask git to update to update the local repository information:
```bash
git fetch origin
```
If you installed as described above, you will be using a
[tag](https://github.com/simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp/tags) for a
specific release. You can see the current tag you are using and
checkout a newer one with the below commands:
```bash
git branch
* (HEAD detached at v2.2.1)
git checkout v2.2.2
```
Install or upgrade the external dependencies with Composer:
```bash
php composer.phar install
```
When using Windows see the additional options for this composer
command shown at the end of the installation step above.
