- 4. Five known methods in order of difficulty: — Composer — Github Checkout — Signal Fires as 1's and 0's !!! — Magnetized Needle on a Hard Drive Platter — WinRAR span archive with 200k floppy disks " — Archive / Zip file ©2016 PHILWINKLE LLC 4
- 5. Composer — Complex — Slow — Permissions issues — Devdocs reads like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" story with multiple forks in the road for various installation procedures. Except in this story the Nightmare Elf always gets you in the end and his name is Anton and he's the lead architect of Magento 2. ©2016 PHILWINKLE LLC 5
- 6. Github Checkout — Basically like Composer — Only with more self-loathing because you are too old for this ! — You can really screw stuff up (don't git pull whatever you do, for ✞ sake) ©2016 PHILWINKLE LLC 6
- 7. Signal Fires ! — Easier than the previous two methods — Long and tedious, lots of upper body strength — Requires lots of blankets and a lot of firewood — Firewood can be wet in South Florida - account for wood drying time in project budget ©2016 PHILWINKLE LLC 7
- 8. Magnetized Needle on a Hard Drive Platter — Easier than a signal fire because it requires less wood — But not zero wood. Make sure to stock up on at least a little bit of wood. — Requires knowledge of magnets — Insane Clown Possee "Juggalo" outfit not required, but highly recommended ©2016 PHILWINKLE LLC 8
- 9. WinRAR span archive with 200k floppy disks ! — The shortest install time of any of the prior options, mostly due to the speed of transferring the physical media via ISAPI interface and 400-baud modem — Requires a large footprint for storage of 300+ floppy disks ©2016 PHILWINKLE LLC 9
- 10. Archive / Zip file download — Seriously this is the only way you should be installing Magento — Familiarity from M1 to M2 — Dependencies are already met — No "accidental" installation from develop channel — Permissions are retained from the user unpacking the Zip so no potential Composer permissions mismatch ©2016 PHILWINKLE LLC 10
