User-Wide 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 user-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 required user directories:

                    New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force `
    -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\Valvoid\Fusion","$env:USERPROFILE\Valvoid\bin"
                

Extract the archive into the installation directory:

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

Create a launcher batch file:

                    Set-Content "$env:USERPROFILE\Valvoid\bin\fusion.bat" `
    -Value '@php "$env:USERPROFILE\Valvoid\Fusion\fusion" %*'
                

Add the binary directory to your PATH variable (takes effect in new sessions) and restart PowerShell or open a new session to load it:

                    setx PATH "$env:USERPROFILE\Valvoid\bin;$env:PATH"
                

Verify the installation:

                    fusion -v
                

Recursive Update

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

                    fusion build "dir.path=$env:USERPROFILE\Valvoid\Fusion"
