Helps to discover and install tools.

Use cases

Toolbox started its life as a simple script in the phpqa docker image. Its purpose was to install set of tools while building the docker image and it's still its main goal. It has been extracted as a separate project to make maintenance easier and enable new use cases.

Available tools

Removed tools

Installation

Get the toolbox.phar from the latest release. The command below should do the job:

curl -Ls https://github.com/jakzal/toolbox/releases/latest/download/toolbox.phar -o toolbox && chmod +x toolbox

Usage

List available tools

./toolbox list-tools

Filter tools by tags

To exclude some tools from the listing multiple --exclude-tag options can be added. The --tag option can be used to filter tools by tags.

./toolbox list-tools --exclude-tag exclude-php:8.2 --exclude-tag foo --tag bar

Install tools

./toolbox install

Install tools in a custom directory

By default tools are installed in the /usr/local/bin directory. To perform an installation in another location, pass the --target-dir option to the install command. Also, to change the location composer packages are installed in, export the COMPOSER_HOME environment variable.

mkdir /tools
export COMPOSER_HOME=/tools/.composer
export PATH="/tools:$COMPOSER_HOME/vendor/bin:$PATH"
./toolbox install --target-dir /tools

The target dir can also be configured with the TOOLBOX_TARGET_DIR environment variable.

Dry run

To only see what commands would be executed, use the dry run mode:

./toolbox install --dry-run

Filter tools by tags

To exclude some tools from the installation multiple --exclude-tag options can be added. The --tag option can be used to filter tools by tags.

./toolbox install --exclude-tag exclude-php:8.2 --exclude-tag foo --tag bar

Test if installed tools are usable

./toolbox test

Dry run

To only see what commands would be executed, use the dry run mode:

./toolbox test --dry-run

Filter tools by tags

To exclude some tools from the generated test command multiple --exclude-tag options can be added. The --tag option can be used to filter tools by tags.

./toolbox test --exclude-tag exclude-php:8.2 --exclude-tag foo --tag bar

Tools definitions

By default the following files are used to load tool definitions:

• resources/pre-installation.json
• resources/architecture.json
• resources/checkstyle.json
• resources/compatibility.json
• resources/composer.json
• resources/deprecation.json
• resources/documentation.json
• resources/linting.json
• resources/metrics.json
• resources/phpstan.json
• resources/psalm.json
• resources/refactoring.json
• resources/security.json
• resources/test.json
• resources/tools.json

Definitions can be loaded from customised files by passing the --tools option(s):

./toolbox list-tools --tools path/to/file1.json --tools path/to/file2.json

Tool definition location(s) can be also specified with the TOOLBOX_JSON environment variable:

TOOLBOX_JSON='path/to/file1.json,path/to/file2.json' ./toolbox list-tools

Tool tags

Tools can be tagged in order to enable grouping and filtering them.

The tags below have a special meaning:

• pre-installation - these tools will be installed before any other tools.
• exclude-php:8.1, exclude-php:8.2 etc - used to exclude installation on the specified php version.
