Manual Installation¶

Most editors install PHPantom automatically (see Editor Setup). Use these methods when your editor doesn't manage the binary for you, or when you want a specific version.

Latest Release¶

CargoCargo binstallHomebrewPre-built Binary

cargo install phpantom_lsp --locked

See phpantom_lsp on crates.io.

cargo binstall phpantom_lsp

cargo-binstall downloads pre-built binaries instead of compiling from source, so installation takes seconds instead of minutes.

brew install phpantom-lsp

Available on macOS and Linux.

Download the latest binary for your platform from GitHub Releases. Available for:

x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
x86_64-apple-darwin
aarch64-apple-darwin
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

The Linux binaries are statically linked (musl), so they have no minimum glibc requirement and run on any Linux distribution, including old-glibc systems (RHEL/CentOS 8, Debian 11) and musl-based ones (Alpine). The -unknown-linux-gnu name is retained for compatibility with existing installers.

Latest Main (Unreleased)¶

Install the latest main branch to get fixes and features that haven't been released yet. Useful for verifying bug fixes or testing new features.

cargo install --git https://github.com/PHPantom-dev/phpantom_lsp --branch main phpantom_lsp

See Building from Source for full instructions. Quick version:

git clone https://github.com/PHPantom-dev/phpantom_lsp

Once installed, see Editor Setup to configure your editor.
