📦 GlobalInstall

Installs dependencies in the global environment based on the global composer.json.

When to use

Use this when you already maintain a global composer.json (e.g. synced via version control) and need to install all declared dependencies at once. Equivalent to running composer global install.

Signature

func (c *Composer) GlobalInstall() error

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return value

error: Returns the corresponding error message when an error occurs during execution; nil on success.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/scagogogo/composer-skills/pkg/composer"
)

func main() {
	comp, err := composer.New(composer.DefaultOptions())
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Initialization failed: %v", err)
	}

	// Install dependencies per the global composer.json
	if err := comp.GlobalInstall(); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Global install failed: %v", err)
	}

	fmt.Println("Global dependencies installed")
}

Advanced

• GlobalInstall does not accept options; if you need control flags such as --no-dev or --optimize, use Run("global", "install", ...) to assemble the command yourself, or call global init/require to maintain the composer.json first.
• To add a single global package, see GlobalRequire.
• To view results after installation, see GlobalList; to update, see GlobalUpdate.
