Thanks Joe for the feedback. I can certainly update the code to allow for a local director copy of the download. My thought was to delete the local copy if its present, as it might not be complete / or corrupted. And i didn't want to force the MD5 url requirement. Also I will update the documentation to include php-zip. Sorry for the inconvenience, but thanks for the determination of trying to get it working! You rock!

 

I'm thinking i could make the 3rd cli param be a check if its a url or the remote password. If its a url, then its the path to the MD5 checksum, if not, then use it as a password for the remote boxes. Would that work for you?

 

Also, did it work for you once you got the require files installed? Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks alot! I'm always looking to make things better.
