Explore a PHP‑Based ‘Operating System’: Installation Guide & Demo
A Japanese PHP developer released an open‑source project that simulates a simple operating system in PHP, currently limited to printing "Hello World!", and provides step‑by‑step instructions for installing the required PHP version and running the demo on macOS.
On July 13, a Japanese PHP developer known as “PHPer めもりー” (ID @m3m0r7) shared a project that implements a simple “operating system” using PHP.
The current version can only output “Hello World!” in an emulator or virtual machine and has no additional functionality.
The source code is open‑sourced on GitHub: https://github.com/m3m0r7/php-os.
Usage
The project’s README provides detailed steps. It requires PHP 8.3 or higher. On macOS you can install a newer PHP version with Homebrew:
brew tap shivammathur/php
brew tap shivammathur/extensions
brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]If composer require m3m0r7/php-os fails, clone the repository and run: composer update After following the README instructions, you can run the PHP‑based “operating system” and see the Hello World output.
