phive: Install a specified Phar globally.
$ phive install ${select} --global
try on your machine

This command uses a tool called phive to install a specific version of a PHP project globally on your system.

Here is how to break down the command:

  • phive is the name of the tool that is being used to manage and install PHP projects.
  • install is the command that phive understands to install a PHP project.
  • ${select} represents a variable that will be replaced with the name or version of the PHP project you want to install. You need to specify the name or version of the project you desire to install in place of ${select}.
  • --global is an option that instructs phive to install the PHP project globally, making it available system-wide instead of being limited to a specific project or directory.

Overall, the command is executing the phive tool to install a specific version of a PHP project globally on the system. The ${select} variable will be replaced with the desired project name or version.
