Post Installation on Mac OS X

If you intend to use PHP and other tools provided by Zend Server (pear and pecl) from the command line (PHP CLI), it is recommended that you add the <install_path>/bin directory to your $PATH environment variable.

This can be done in two ways:

Per user profile
For all users

The following procedure is intended for use with bash. If you are using a different shell, adjust the procedure accordingly.

To add the <install_path>/bin directory to your $PATH environment variable per user profile, issue the following command:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/zend/bin' >> $HOME/.bashrc

To add the Zend Server library path, issue the following command:

echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/zend/lib' >> $HOME/.bashrc

You can now run the PHP binary provided by Zend Server without typing its full path.

To add the <install_path>/bin directory to your $PATH environment variable for all users, issue the following command:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/zend/bin' >> /etc/profile.d/zend-server.sh

To add the Zend Server library path, issue the following command:

echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/zend/lib' >> /etc/profile.d/zend-server.sh

You can now run the PHP binary provided by Zend Server without typing its full path.
