Hi, at my disposal I have a very cheap chromebook. I didn't think I would end up having to develop on it. I have tried installing linux on it, but the graphics just couldn't keep up, so I had to go back to just ChromeOS.
So, I am currently developing a website on a hosting I had lying around. So far so good. I have tried my best to avoid having to use composer and used solutions that stayed away from it. I also need to add that I am a noob and have never used composer.
But currently, there are some dependies and plugins I REALLY need (it's a laravel plugin even, but I read a post that could potentially help me with using it in octobercms).
The Crosh terminal is limited, I am also currently not in developer mode anymore (but I could go back into it as that would possibly allow me to use ssh), I do have the Secure Shell extention. But another problem arose when I needed a public key, and I only have the private key. At my disposal is only this crappy chromebook, and I have read up that I would need to go to some other pc and use it to generate the public key, which MIGHT work. And then be able to use composer that way.
Another option would be me using cloud9, apparently it has a command line that I can use to install composer. But then I would have to migrate this over to there, with all the annoyance that comes with it.
The third option would be doing it manually, copy pasting the required dependencies and then requiring them. But where would I copy paste them? In the vendor folder? And where and how would I require them? In the plugin.php?
Is there any other option available to me? What would be my best solution?
Could any help me with this in any way?
You could try this: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton
There you create a chroot for either debian or ubuntu and then you can go straight out-of the box and install debian / unbuntu packages on your chromebook and you should be able to set-up a decent dev environment with composer ect.
My friend did that and it works very well as far as I can tell.
