Building swoole from sources
Download link
You are recommended to download the latest stable version of swoole. You can download the source code from one of the following the links.
Compiling requirements
- Linux, OS X or Cygwin, WSL
- PHP 7.0.0 or later (The higher the version, the better the performance.)
- GCC 4.8 or later
The process of compile and install the swoole extension for PHP:
Download the source packages from Releases or clone from git repo:
git clone https://github.com/swoole/swoole-src.git && \
cd swoole-src && \
git checkout v4.x.x
Compile and install at the source folder:
phpize && \
./configure && \
make && make install
Enable Swoole extension in PHP
After installing the swoole extension to the PHP extensions directory, you will need to edit php.ini and add an extension=swoole.so line before you can use the swoole extension.
php -i | grep php.ini # check the php.ini file location
sudo echo "extension=swoole.so" >> php.ini # add the extension=swoole.so to the end of php.ini
php -m | grep swoole # check if the swoole extension has been enabled
Configuration paramaters
These configurations are used for enabling some features.
--enable-swoole-debug
Enable the debug logs of swoole. Don't enable this configuration in production environment.
--enable-sockets
