Standalone Linux Installation

Required Environment

Fusion requires at least PHP 8.1.0 to run. Check the installed version on your system:

                php -v
            

Ensure the required curl and recommended zip extensions are available:

                php -m
            

Prebuilt Generic Package

For a system-wide standalone installation from scratch, we use a prebuilt executable package from the generic package registry. Download the compressed standalone-build.tar.gz archive for version 1.1.0:

                sudo curl -fL "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/62331610/packages/generic/fusion/1.1.0/standalone-build.tar.gz" \
    -o "$HOME/Downloads/fusion-1.1.0.tar.gz"
            

Create the system-wide installation directories:

                sudo mkdir -p /opt/bin /opt/valvoid/fusion
            

Extract the downloaded archive into the installation directory:

                sudo tar -zxf "$HOME/Downloads/fusion-1.1.0.tar.gz" \
    -C /opt/valvoid/fusion
            

Remove the extracted archive:

                sudo rm "$HOME/Downloads/fusion-1.1.0.tar.gz"
            

Make the CLI file executable by all system users:

                sudo chmod +x /opt/valvoid/fusion/fusion
            

Create a symbolic link to make Fusion globally available:

                sudo ln -s /opt/valvoid/fusion/fusion /opt/bin/fusion
            

Append the /opt/bin directory to the system-wide PATH variable:

                sudo nano /etc/environment
            

Reload the updated PATH variable:

                source /etc/environment
            

Verify the installation by checking the version as a regular system user in a new terminal session, without using sudo:

                fusion -v
            

Recursive Update

To update Fusion without breaking changes, run the build command:

                sudo fusion build dir.path=/opt/valvoid/fusion
            

Make the CLI file executable by all system users:

                sudo chmod +x /opt/valvoid/fusion/fusion
