  2. Untar (tar vxfz FILENAME)

  3. cd into untarred directory

  4. phpize and inspect versions. a) You may need to install php-devel package appropriate for your PHP build (e.g. yum install php-devel)

  5. Make sure that phpize numbers match Zend extension when viewing either phpinfo() or via php -i

  6. Compile via ./configure --enable-xdebug a) You may need a C Compiler (e.g. yum install gcc)

  7. Create an xdebug.ini file or add the following to your php.ini file (depending upon settings):

    [xdebug]
    zend_extension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so
    xdebug.remote_enable=1
    xdebug.profiler_enable=1
    xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
    xdebug.idekey=vagrant
