Is there a tutorial on installing PHP? Surely this should be a prerequisite for starting a PHP course?

Hi Lucas

There is not one in TreeHouse, Installing PHP is pretty project specific and Operating System specific so i recommend going to the PHP documentation, on the installation page

Alternatively, if your using it with a local server environment, i.e. MAMP/WAMPServer/XAMPP, then it already comes with PHP, all you have to do is set your System Environment Variables to point to the PHP bin folder.

If your doing the latter, let me know and ill provide more information, dependent on your Operating System.
