Restler RC3 Install

Question

Is there a way to 'copy and paste' the RC3 to my host without having to run 'make composer-install'? Unfortunately my host is lousy and doesn't allow for this.

Restler 2 was as easy to install as putting the files into a directory and making a few config changes. That doesn't appear to be the case anymore. I love Restler 2 but need the functionality offered in RC3.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

With Restler3, Yes! you can do that and it still works fine for JSON and XML format. make composer-install is only necessary for Plist, Yaml and AMF formats as they depend on some third party libraries (which you will be able to automatically update independent of Restler 3 with the help of composer) also it installs latest version of Restler API Explorer.

If you need those formats and / or API Explorer, you can download restler on your machine and run make composer-install locally (It does not need a web server) and then upload the resulting folders to your server
