Manual Installation

Most editors install PHPantom automatically (see Editor Setup). Use these methods when your editor doesn't manage the binary for you, or when you want a specific version.

Latest Release

=== "Cargo"

```bash
cargo install phpantom_lsp --locked
```

See [phpantom_lsp on crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/phpantom_lsp).

=== "Cargo binstall"

```bash
cargo binstall phpantom_lsp
```

[cargo-binstall](https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall) downloads
pre-built binaries instead of compiling from source, so installation
takes seconds instead of minutes.

=== "Homebrew"

```bash
brew install phpantom-lsp
```

Available on macOS and Linux.

=== "Pre-built Binary"

Download the latest binary for your platform from
[GitHub Releases](https://github.com/PHPantom-dev/phpantom_lsp/releases/latest).
Available for:

- `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
- `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`
- `x86_64-apple-darwin`
- `aarch64-apple-darwin`
- `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`

The Linux binaries are statically linked (musl), so they have no
minimum glibc requirement and run on any Linux distribution, including
old-glibc systems (RHEL/CentOS 8, Debian 11) and musl-based ones
(Alpine). The `-unknown-linux-gnu` name is retained for compatibility
with existing installers.
