#How To Configure Cloud9 for ownCloud Development

• Create a "Custom" project on c9.io

• In the custom workspace add the php dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite php5-curl phpunit

• The php installs will cause apache to restart so they need to be stopped again.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
sudo /etc/init.d/php5-fpm stop

• Add custom settings for the php cli

cat << EOF | sudo tee /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/99-ocs.ini
default_charset = UTF-8
output_buffering = off
EOF

• Edit the ~/.ocdevrc so that it has sane defaults for your project See https://github.com/owncloud/ocdev for details on the ocdev tool.

• Install the ocdev utility

sudo pip3 install ocdev

• Setup the ocdev environment in the home directory not ~/workspace

cd $HOME
ocdev setup core
mkdir -p core/data

• Start your awesome application

cd $HOME
ocdev startapp MyApp

• Move the app template into your workspace so it is the only thing that is managed by your c9 project.

mv myapp/* ~/workspace
mv myapp/.* ~/workspace
rmdir MyApp

• Then link the application into the right place in the ownCloud apps directory

ln -s $HOME/workspace $HOME/core/apps/MyApp

• Setup the runner for live previews using the "Run -> Run With -> Shell Command" and set command to: php -S $IP:$PORT -t $HOME/core

• Now you are ready to get some code done!
