Getting PHP 7.2

I got the PHP 7.2 from genkins and I'm using it now but I'm getting this:

CAL] Please initialize composer dependencies before running.
Restarted 598 times
[CRITICAL] Composer autoloader not found
[CRITICAL] Please initialize composer dependencies before running.

[CRITICAL] Composer autoloader not found

I opened the new bin file and I see 2 composer, one is .phar

 

readthedocs!
anyways, the fix is to execute the following command in the server dir:
./bin/composer install
or alternatively ./bin/php7/bin/php ./bin/composer.phar

 

I did

Code:

root@vps138039:/home/w# ./bin/composer install
Do not run Composer as root/super user! See https://getcomposer.org/root for details
Composer could not find a composer.json file in /home/w
To initialize a project, please create a composer.json file as described in the https://getcomposer.org/ "Getting Started" section
root@vps138039:/home/w#

 

the server is not in /root why does it say

Code:

Do not run Composer as root/super user! See https://getcomposer.org/root for details?

 

Because you're still running as a root user! The directory doesn't matter, but you have to use another user, other than root.

 

how?

 

is it dangerous to use root user?

 

Yes, with root you can even wipe all your data.

 

Oh thanks. Is there some tutorial online to switch users but keeping datas?

 

Use the su - USERNAME command to switch users.

 

will I lose or still keep the files from

PHP:

root

user?

 

You won't lose anything, it just switches the user account.

 

thanks

 

Code:

root@vps138039:~# su - hi
No passwd entry for user 'hi'
root@vps138039:~#

 

Are you sure there a user called hi?

 

oh no, how do I create a new user?

 

That's only temperarly! You should logout and then login to another user.

Code:

adduser username

 

Well when I added a new user and logged out from root and logged back in using the new user, there was something with permission when I tried to startup the server

 

Code:

ouch('/home/pe/server...')
#2 phar:///home/pe/PocketMine-MP.phar/src/pocketmine/PocketMine.php(197): pocketmine\utils\MainLogger->__construct('/home/pe/server...')
#3 /home/pe/PocketMine-MP.phar(1): require('phar:///home/pe...')

Ok, forget it, switch back to root user (su -) and enter pwd. Then cd into the server directory and do ls there. It looks like your composer.json is missing. You could also just use a phar.
