How to run phpDoc commands from an Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 instance for generating your own phpDocs for free.

AWS EC2 Run phpDoc

1) Install composer see: https://gist.github.com/asugai/6694502

2) Edit composer.json to include phpdoc by adding:

  "require": { "phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor": "2.*" }
 
3) Then update composer with: 

  composer update --verbose
  
4) Before you run the composer command create the directory where the documents will go and give it high enough
permission that phpdoc can write to it with the chmod command.

4) Now navigate to phpdocumentor. Usually /var/www/vendor/phpdocumentor/...

5) Keeping going until you get to bin/phpdoc

6) Then run sudo php phpdoc -d path/to/code/to/doc -t /path/to/output/dir
