HHVM¶

Synopsis¶

This module facilitates installing and un installing the HHVM which is a popular build server to your machine. HipHop Virtual Machine (HHVM) is a process virtual machine based on just-in-time (JIT) compilation, serving as an execution engine for PHP and Hack programming languages. By using the principle of JIT compilation, executed PHP or Hack code is first transformed into intermediate HipHop byte code (HHBC), which is then dynamically translated into the x86-64 machine code, optimized and natively executed. Let us see about the HHVM module in upcoming topics.

Help Command¶

The help command guides the users regarding the purpose and as well as about the options that are included in the HHVM module. It lists out the alternative parameters of HHVM module. It also describes the syntax for installing the HHVM module. The help command for HHVM module is shown as below.

********************************************************************
* HHVM is installed.
*
* Running PHP web scripts with HHVM is done by having your webserver talk to HHVM
* over FastCGI. Install nginx or Apache, and then:
* $ sudo /usr/share/hhvm/install_fastcgi.sh
* $ sudo /etc/init.d/hhvm restart
* (if using nginx)  $ sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
* (if using apache) $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart
*
* Detailed FastCGI directions are online at:
* https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/wiki/FastCGI
*
* If you're using HHVM to run web scripts, you probably want it to start at boot:
* $ sudo update-rc.d hhvm defaults
*
* Running command-line scripts with HHVM requires no special setup:
* $ hhvm whatever.php
*
* You can use HHVM for /usr/bin/php even if you have php-cli installed:
* $ sudo /usr/bin/update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/php php /usr/bin/hhvm 60

Un installation¶

The command used for un installing the hhvm is shown below.

cleopatra HHVM uninstall

Benefits¶

The parameters used in help and installation and un installation operations are not case sensitive which is an added advantage while compared to others.
It is well-to-do in both Ubuntu and as well as Cent OS.
HHVM has the ability to use live type information to produce more efficient native code, leading to higher web server throughput and lower latency.
