Blackfire OSX MAMP setup:

blackfire-osx-mamp-readme.md

Look for the 'manual' tab here: https://blackfire.io/docs/24-days/06-installation#installation-on-your-local-computers

I just installed your tools on OSX using MAMP Pro and have some feedback. The installation wasn't very straightforward.

The documentation provided was perfect for the agent and the CLI tools. But, it fell quite short for the probe installation: https://blackfire.io/docs/up-and-running/installation#install-probe-osx

There is a clause for MAMP/MAMP Pro in there, but it doesn't provide any direction. It notes to check your PHP using which php, and that you'll have to modify one or two php.ini files, but doesn't provide instructions for why, how, or what needs to be modified.

brew install blackfire-php71 --without-brew-php didn't seem to integrate with MAMP.

I have it up and running now, and will provide the process I followed in case it helps. You may want to update your docs if it makes sense to.

Here's what I did:

• Followed the brew installation process so that I could download the PHP extension (not sure where else to get it).

brew install blackfire-php56

• Checked where brew downloaded the extension to so that I could copy it over to my MAMP (or other) PHP installation:

brew info blackfire-php71

• This pointed me to: /usr/local/Cellar/blackfire-php71/1.16.1

• Checked where MAMP's PHP installation was:

which php

• This pointed me to: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.0/bin/php

• Copied over the extension I downloaded with Brew:

cp /usr/local/Cellar/blackfire-php71/1.16.1/blackfire.so /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.0/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303

• Checked PHP's ini location:

php --ini

• Which led me to: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.0/conf/php.ini

• Edited the ini file.

• This was done outside of MAMP contrary to the instructions on your page, but without issue; I'm sure inside of MAMP would have been fine too.

• I copied a configuration from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30202276/setting-up-blackfire-io-on-a-mamp-pro-installation-mac-osx

• brew info blackfire-php71 gave me a similar config, but without any instructions or settings

[blackfire] ;Replace the path with the path of the folder where you downloaded the probe extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/blackfire-php-darwin_amd64-php-55.so"

; On Linux systems, uncomment the following line ;blackfire.agent_socket = unix:///var/run/blackfire/agent.sock ; On Mac OS X systems, uncomment the following line blackfire.agent_socket = unix:///usr/local/var/run/blackfire-agent.sock

blackfire.agent_timeout = 0.25

; Log verbosity level (4: debug, 3: info, 2: warning, 1: error) blackfire.log_level = 4

; Log file blackfire.log_file = /usr/local/var/log/blackfire/blackfire.log

blackfire.server_id = YOUR_SERVER_ID

blackfire.server_token = YOUR_SERVER_TOKEN

• Restarted Apache: (restart would've been fine I'm sure)

sudo apachectl stop sudo apachectl start

• Was then able to verify the extension's presence:

php --ri blackfire

The main problems here were:

• Not sure how to download the probe extension outside of brew.
• Not sure where to find the php.ini configuration/instructions.
• Instructions in this section are misleading and do not work.

...

I am just now seeing that there is a 'Manual' section peppered in with the operating systems tabs under installation.

Hi!
Quite old installation tutorial but thanks ! It helped me a lot !
