Installation

This Deployer recipe can be used in a number of ways, whichever you prefer. It can be used as a stand-alone 'project', so that you can deploy a website, without having to have a full local copy of the website itself. You can also install it as a dependency of your own project, so that the configuration to deploy the site is stored with the project itself.

Regardless of which option you prefer, you'll need to have both the recipe, as well as Deployer itself.

Get the recipe

The easiest way to create a stand-alone version is to run the following:

composer create-project bolt/deployer

Alternatively, click the "Use this template"-button on the bolt/project repository to instantiate your own repository as a copy of the original.

Lastly, to add it to an existing project, you can run composer require --dev bolt/deployer to install it as a dependency of your project.

Install Deployer

If you're using the composer create'd version or if you've installed the recipe as a dependency, you can run composer install to install Deployer as a dependency. You can then run it using vendor/bin/dep.

You can also install Deployer as a global composer binary. To do so, run

curl -LO https://deployer.org/deployer.phar
mv deployer.phar /usr/local/bin/dep
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/dep

After doing this, you should be able to run dep from anywhere on your local environment.

If neither of these two work for you, you can get Deployer by downloading the Phar file manually, or by running just:

curl -LO https://deployer.org/deployer.phar

Now you can run php deployer.phar to run Deployer.
