Quick Start
This guide walks you through getting started with RoadRunner. You'll learn how to install RoadRunner and configure it for your project.
Step 1: Download RR for your platform
To begin, you need to download RR for your platform. Visit the RR installation guide and download the appropriate version for your operating system.
Step 2: Install PHP
RR requires PHP to run. If you don't have PHP installed, you can download it from the official PHP website and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.
Step 3: Create a simple configuration
Next, you need to create a simple configuration file for RR. Open a text editor and create a new file called .rr.yaml
. Add the following content to the file:
version: "3"
server:
command: "php psr-worker.php"
http:
address: 0.0.0.0:8080
# Do not use development mode in production
logs:
level: debug
mode: development
Step 4: Create a simple worker
Now create a simple worker. Create a new file called psr-worker.php
and add the following content:
<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use Nyholm\Psr7\Response;
use Nyholm\Psr7\Factory\Psr17Factory;
use Spiral\RoadRunner\Worker;
use Spiral\RoadRunner\Http\PSR7Worker;
$worker = Worker::create();
$factory = new Psr17Factory();
$psr7 = new PSR7Worker($worker, $factory, $factory, $factory);
while (true) {
try {
$request = $psr7->waitRequest();
if ($request === null) {
break;
}
} catch (\Throwable $e) {
$psr7->respond(new Response(400));
continue;
}
try {
$psr7->respond(new Response(200, [], 'Hello RoadRunner!'));
} catch (\Throwable $e) {
$psr7->respond(new Response(500, [], 'Something Went Wrong!'));
$psr7->getWorker()->error((string)$e);
}
}
Step 5: Start the server
Now start the server. You should have the following files in the current folder:
.rr.yaml
psr-worker.php
rr
binary
Then, open a terminal window in the current folder and run the following command:
./rr serve
Since logs are in development mode, you should see the following output:
