Install HHVM (Hiphop PHP) on Centos 6.4 (64-bit)

UPDATED: 10/July/2013 - Fixed the errors which are causing repo not available. Sorry for the trouble.

UPDATEd: 19/Oct/2013 - HHVM 2.2.0 Release is available now

UPDATED: 18/Dec/2013 - HHVM 2.3.0 Release is available now  

UPDATED: 14/Apr/2014 - HHVM 3.0.1 Release is available now

I have created a repository and compiled HHVM (v2 of HPHP) rpm packages. Follow these steps to get started.

1. Install Centos 6.x (minimal is preferred)

2. Install epel repository

sudo yum install http://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/fedora/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

(or get the latest version from http://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/fedora/epel/6/i386/repoview/epel-release.html)

3. download the hop5 repository configuration file

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

sudo wget http://www.hop5.in/yum/el6/hop5.repo

If you are here after Mar-2014, use hhvm as package name instead of hiphop-php

4. Install hiphop-php

sudo yum install hiphop-php

5. Follow the instructions at https://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php to get started


Please note that, i have compiled the required rpms from fedora distribution. DO NOT FILE ANY BUGS WITH CENTOS/FEDORA regarding the rpms that you are about to install from this repoisitory.
