How to install PHP_uml

PHP_UML is a UML graphics generation tool developed in PHP language, which can be used to quickly generate UML class diagrams, sequence diagrams and other views. It performs code analysis based on PHP language annotations to generate graphical class diagrams and other UML objects. How to install PHP_UML is described in detail below.

1. Environmental requirements

Before installing PHP_UML, you need to confirm that PHP and Graphviz software are installed on the system in order to use PHP_UML normally.

The operating environment requirements for PHP_UML are as follows:

1. PHP5.5 and above version
2. Installed graphviz software

2. Download the PHP_UML package

Before installing PHP_UML, you need to download the PHP_UML source code package locally. You can download the latest version of the PHP_UML code package from GitHub or download it from the official website. Here we take the latest version on GitHub as an example to introduce.

1. Look for the PHP_UML project on GitHub.
2. Click the "Clone or download" button on the upper right and select "Download ZIP" to download the code package locally.

3. Install PHP_UML

1. Unzip the PHP_UML source code package and enter the directory where the code package is located in the terminal.
2. Execute the command: php phpUml.phar to confirm whether it starts normally.
3. The command calling PHP_UML needs to add parameters to specify the PHP file or directory to generate the UML diagram.

For example, execute the command: php phpUml.phar /path/to/your/project, you can quickly generate UML class diagrams of all PHP files in the specified directory.

4. Save the generated UML diagram to the specified path.

For example, execute the command: php phpUml.phar -o /path/to/your/diagram/file to save the UML diagram to the specified path.

4. Configuration items

We can find all configuration items in the phpUml.yml.dist file of the PHP_UML source code package.

For example, you can specify the installation path of the Graphviz software by modifying the "graphviz_path" configuration item in the phpUml.yml.dist file.

5. Using PHP_UML

After completing the installation of PHP_UML, we can use PHP_UML to analyze the project and generate the corresponding UML diagram. For example, if you need to quickly generate a UML class diagram of a PHP file, you can execute the command:

php phpUml.phar /path/to/your/file.php -o /path/to/your /diagram/file

In this way, PHP_UML will automatically parse the classes in the PHP file and the relationship between the classes in the generated UML class diagram, and save it to the UML file in the specified directory. middle.

Summary:

The above is the detailed process of installing PHP_UML. Using PHP_UML can help us quickly generate UML diagrams of complex projects, making it easier for developers to debug and maintain code. During use, you need to pay attention to the settings of the installation environment and related configuration items to ensure that PHP_UML can be used normally.
