Install Packages Parallel For Faster Development In Composer


Share On     Share On WhatsApp     Share On LinkedIn


One of the major drawbacks of the composer is that it installs the package sequentially ie one by one. Today you will learn how to install hirak/prestissimo which will help the composer to download packages parallel.


Prerequisites


You need to have composer installed in your computer or server.


To install composer in Ubuntu / Linux Distros


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install composer

Step 1 - Install hirak/prestissimo Package


First and the foremost thing is to install the hirak/prestissimo composer package globally in your system. This can be done with the following command


composer global require hirak/prestissimo


You will get similar to the following output. Which confirms that the package has been installed in your system


Changed current directory to /Users/wifidabba/.composer
Using version ^0.3.10 for hirak/prestissimo
./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Package operations: 1 install, 0 updates, 0 removals
 - Installing hirak/prestissimo (0.3.10): Downloading (100%)     
Writing lock file
Generating autoload files


We are installing globally so that we can use it anywhere in our system via composer command line.


Step 2 - Testing The Package For Parallel Downloads


Now coming down to the main point for which we downloaded this package globally in our system ie. testing it to check if it actually works.


Run the following command


composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel1 --no-progress --profile --prefer-dist


I will show you a snippet of my output. If you would like to see the GIF of the same Composer Plugin Image.
