Install THT

What You Need 

To run THT, you will need these requirements.

• PHP 8.1+

Installing PHP

You can run php -v to see if PHP is installed and has the right version.

If you need to install PHP, here are some links:

• Windows
• MacOS
• Linux - Ubuntu

Code Editor 

If you use TextMate or Sublime Text, you can download the THT.tmbundle to add syntax highlighting support for .tht files.

Otherwise, you can get by using the syntax for PHP or JavaScript.

Step 1: Run the THT Install Script 

Mac/Linux

Run this command to install THT in your local user directory:

curl -s -o tht.sh https://tht.dev/install && source tht.sh

Windows

On Windows, you will need to install it manually. (Installer coming soon.)

• Download the zip file
• Extract it to C:\tht
• Add C:\tht to your PATH environment variable.

Step 2: Verify It 

Let’s check that THT is set up properly.

Run the tht command without arguments.

$ tht

If everything worked, you should see the help page, like this:
