Standalone Windows 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. Start PowerShell as Administrator and download the compressed standalone-build.tar.gz archive for version 1.1.0:

                Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/62331610/packages/generic/fusion/1.1.0/standalone-build.tar.gz" `
    -OutFile "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\fusion-1.1.0.tar.gz"
            

Create the system-wide installation directories:

                New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force `
    -Path "C:\Program Files\Valvoid\Fusion","C:\Program Files\Valvoid\bin"
            

Extract the archive into the installation directory:

                tar -xzf "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\fusion-1.1.0.tar.gz" `
    -C "C:\Program Files\Valvoid\Fusion"
            

Create a launcher batch file:

                Set-Content "C:\Program Files\Valvoid\bin\fusion.bat" `
    -Value '@php "C:\Program Files\Valvoid\Fusion\fusion" %*'
            

Add the bin folder to the system PATH for all users:

                setx /M PATH "C:\Program Files\Valvoid\bin;%PATH%"
            

Restart PowerShell for the updated PATH to take effect. Verify the installation by checking the version as a regular system user in a new terminal session, without Administrator:

                fusion -v
            

Recursive Update

To update Fusion without breaking changes, open PowerShell as Administrator and run the build command:

                    fusion build "dir.path=C:\Program Files\Valvoid\Fusion"
