Is there a way to 'copy and paste' the RC3 to my host without having to run 'make composer-install'? Unfortunately my host is lousy and doesn't allow for this.

Restler 2 was as easy to install as putting the files into a directory and making a few config changes. That doesn't appear to be the case anymore. I love Restler 2 but need the functionality offered in RC3.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

  • I'm in the same boat 5yrs after this question was asked. While the answers may be accurate, they don't answer the question. "Is there a way to cut and paste..." I'm starting my 2nd week of trying to install RC3 with composer and everything else it needs, and still nothing works. How to get a folder that uses supplied examples like "BMI" would be worth ALL my reputation points here. :( – GDP Dec 09 '17 at 18:18

With Restler3, Yes! you can do that and it still works fine for JSON and XML format. make composer-install is only necessary for Plist, Yaml and AMF formats as they depend on some third party libraries (which you will be able to automatically update independent of Restler 3 with the help of composer) also it installs latest version of Restler API Explorer.

If you need those formats and / or API Explorer, you can download restler on your machine and run make composer-install locally (It does not need a web server) and then upload the resulting folders to your server

  • Thank you! I didn't realize I had needed to also upgrade to >5.3. Initially only had blank screens and then got so obsessed with make composer-install that I hadn't tried it after the upgrade. It would seem API Explorer is working on the Access example. Again thanks. – RowdyRobot Oct 24 '12 at 06:13

Install the system at localhost or at a virtual host, and then transfer all the files to your host :)
