Install yii2-nav-x

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

as I install an extension manually yii 2

for example the extension yii2-nav-x

2

Use composer, follow the instructions. Really. Why make it hard on yourself?

Yes use composer.

In you example package yii2-nav-x is one of the kartik-v extension.

kartik-v has divided its extension in several package so common base code is better handled.

yii2-nav-x is one of the complex extension and depends on kartik-v/yii2-dropdown-x which depends on yii2-krajee-base and so on…

So already handling dependencies in this case is a pain in the ass.

Composer will take care for all of this in you behalf. And in future composer will take care of update as well.

At first I suggest you a little facility to use composer:

make a little script in /usr/bin and call it composer so you can call it anywhere like a normal command

In your case inside this script put the following:

#!/bin/bash

php /usr/local/bin/composer "$@"

This allow you to type just composer at command line without php and specify the path, big time save as you will use composer often.

Going back to you problem:[/b]

At first you must create your yii2 project

http://www.yiiframew…ng-via-composer

this will create a yii2 project skeleton, composer.json file included

Once a project is created all other package are requirement of the project, so within your project directory you run

composer require kartik-v/yii2-nav-x "dev-master"

require add yii2-nav-x to your composer.json, download it and its dependencies and install them under vendor directory
