[SOVLED] PHP-Cli

Hi,

While installing the main php 7 package, pacman pulls dependecies like apache which I dont need. I just need php-cli for the php-linter and php-autocomplete packages for Atom.
Is there no php-cli package for Archlinux as Debian/Ubuntu has for it ?

No, there is no such dependencies.

$ expac '%v: %E' php
7.0.10-1: libxml2  curl  libzip

$ pactree -u php | grep -F apache || echo 'No apache in deps'
No apache in deps

Hi,

I was referring to this package page : https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/php/ and its listed in the dependencies as Apache (make).
So I understood it as a dependency that actually installs apache.

I should have just ran 'pacman -S php' just to check what it actually pulls.

Thank you.

Re: [SOVLED] PHP-Cli

For future reference: “make” dependencies are required only when building the package from sources. More at the Wiki: PKGBUILD: makedepends. Unless one wants to build a package from sources instead of only installing binaries from the repos, this has no significance.
