@title Arcanist Quick Start
@group userguide
Quick guide to getting Arcanist working for a new project.
This is a summary of steps to install Arcanist, configure a project for use with
it, and run `arc` to send changes for review.
= Install Arcanist =
For detailed instructions on installing Arcanist, see
@{article:Arcanist User Guide}.
- For Mac OS X, see @{article:Arcanist User Guide: Mac OS X}.
- For Windows, see @{article:Arcanist User Guide: Windows}.
First, install dependencies:
- Install PHP.
- Install Git.
Then install Arcanist itself:
$ mkdir somewhere/
$ cd somewhere/
somewhere/ $ git clone https://github.com/phacility/libphutil.git
somewhere/ $ git clone https://github.com/phacility/arcanist.git
Add `arc` to your path:
$ export PATH="$PATH:/somewhere/arcanist/bin/"
This won't work for Windows, see @{article:Arcanist User Guide: Windows} for
instructions.
= Configure Your Project =
For detailed instructions on project configuration, see
@{article:Arcanist User Guide: Configuring a New Project}.
Create a `.arcconfig` file in your project's working copy:
$ cd yourproject/
yourproject/ $ $EDITOR .arcconfig
yourproject/ $ cat .arcconfig
{
"project_id" : "yourprojectname",
"conduit_uri" : "https://phabricator.example.com/"
}
Set `project_id` to a string that identifies the project.
Set `conduit_uri` to the URI for your Phabricator install (where `arc`
should send changes to).
NOTE: You should **commit this file** to the repository.
= Install Arcanist Credentials =
Credentials allow you to authenticate. You must have an account on Phabricator
before you can perform this step.
$ cd yourproject/
yourproject/ $ arc install-certificate
...
Follow the instructions. This will link your user account on your local machine
to your Phabricator account.
= Send Changes For Review =
For detailed instructions on using `arc diff`, see
@{article:Arcanist User Guide: arc diff}.
$ $EDITOR file.c
$ arc diff
