Composer Install Force PHP

Install composer dependencies ignoring PHP version

When working with PHP projects, you often encounter situations where the required PHP version for a package is slightly different from the one you have installed locally. While it's generally recommended to stick to the specified version, there are cases where minor version differences might not be critical. In such scenarios, you can instruct Composer to ignore the platform requirements and proceed with the installation.

Composer install ignoring PHP version

Composer provides a handy flag "--ignore-platform-reqs" that allows you to bypass platform checks, including PHP version requirements. This can be particularly useful when you're confident that the minor version difference won't affect the package's functionality in your project.

For instance, let's say a package you want to install requires PHP 8.2, but you have PHP 8.3 installed. In this case, you can use the following command to install the package while ignoring the PHP version requirement:

composer install --ignore-platform-req=php

This command tells Composer to disregard the platform requirements specifically for PHP, allowing the installation to proceed even though your PHP version doesn't precisely match the requirement.

However, it's crucial to exercise caution when using this flag. Ignoring platform requirements can sometimes lead to unexpected issues if the package relies on features or behaviors specific to the required PHP version. Therefore, it's essential to thoroughly test your application after installing packages with ignored platform requirements to ensure everything functions as expected.

npm run build base-href

Using NPM to specify base-href When building an Angular application, people usually use "ng" and pass arguments to that invocation. Typically, when wanting to hard code "base-href" in "index.html", one will issue: ng build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo' I used to build my angular apps through Bamboo or Jenkins and they have a "npm" plugin. I got the habit to build the application with "npm run build" before deploying it. But the development team once asked me to set the "--base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo'" parameter. npm run build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo did not set the base href in indext.html After looking for a while, I found https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13560 where it says: You need to use −− to pass arguments to npm scripts. This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo...

How to make wget, curl and Maven download behind an NTLM Proxy Working on CentOS, behind an NTLM proxy: yum can deal without problem with a NTLM Proxy wget, curl and Maven cannot The solution is to use " cntlm ". " cntlm " is a NTLM client for proxies requiring NTLM authentication.
