Has anyone used phprunner with Debian 12 if so what is the best way to install? Anyone use Fedora workstation version or server version? I assume Fedora is compatable as it is from Rd Hat but I could be wrong. Just asking what others have used.

Thanks, Steve

PHPRunner is primarily designed to run on Windows environments, as it is a Windows application that helps you create PHP applications. However, if you're looking to use PHPRunner with a Linux distribution like Debian 12 or Fedora, you can consider running it through a Windows compatibility layer like Wine. Here are some general steps and tips for each environment:

Running PHPRunner on Debian 12

  1. Install Wine:

    • Update your package list:
      sudo apt update
    • Install Wine:
      sudo apt install wine


  2. Install PHPRunner:

    • Download the PHPRunner installer from the official website.
    • Use Wine to run the installer:
      wine path/to/phprunner_installer.exe
    • Follow the installation prompts.


  3. Running PHPRunner:

    • After installation, you can run PHPRunner using Wine:
      wine path/to/PHPRunner.exe



Running PHPRunner on Fedora

  1. Install Wine:

    • Open a terminal and update your system:
      sudo dnf update
    • Install Wine:
      sudo dnf install wine


  2. Install PHPRunner:

    • Download the PHPRunner installer.
    • Use Wine to run the installer:
      wine path/to/phprunner_installer.exe


  3. Running PHPRunner:

    • You can run PHPRunner similarly using Wine:
      wine path/to/PHPRunner.exe



Considerations

  • Performance: Running Windows applications under Wine may not be as smooth as on a native Windows installation. Some features might not work perfectly.
  • Alternatives: If you find it challenging to run PHPRunner in a Linux environment, consider using a Windows virtual machine or dual-booting if your workflow heavily relies on PHPRunner.
  • Community Feedback: You may want to check forums or community discussions specific to PHPRunner users on Linux to gather more insights and experiences.

Conclusion

While PHPRunner is not officially supported on Linux, using Wine is a common workaround that some users have successfully employed. If you encounter issues, you might want to consider running it in a more native Windows environment.

Chat GPT your wrong there are now versions for Debian Linux using phprunner111.deb installl and RD Hat phprunner111.rpm

One of those cases where Chat GPT is obviously wrong. I guess it didn't fully process yet our updated manual and website.

In either case, we do not have personal experience with these versions of Linux but it should be installed the same way you install other software downloaded from the Internet.
