By default, for PHP-based custom uploaders, MagicCap will only allow the version of PHP with the hash embedded into the application to be executed. This is done to prevent trust based attacks and means that if the version of PHP changes within the app, users will be prompted to update their version of PHP. It is worth noting that PHP is NOT bundled with MagicCap, rather the hash and direct download link for the latest in WebScaleSoftwareLtd/magiccap-php-binaries (or from the official PHP mirror for Windows).
To develop MagicCap, you will want to install the following on your computer:
- Node 20.11+
- The Rust toolchain
- XCode Developer Tools (if on macOS)
- Foreman (generally I suggest installing Ruby and doing
gem install foremanfor this, but something foreman compatible will work too)
If this is your first time cloning the repository, you should run make dev-preinit. You can then run make macos-dev on macOS or make linux-dev on Linux.
