Hi,
What is the best way to run OpenCATS locally?

I have tried on Ubuntu 16.04 WSL and Docker. where I generally get to this
root@f45c499c7ae4:/# apt-get install php5.6 php5.6-soap php5.6-ldap
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'php5.6-json' for regex 'php5.6'
Note, selecting 'php5.6-common' for regex 'php5.6'
E: Unable to locate package php5.6-soap
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php5.6-soap'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php5.6-soap'
E: Unable to locate package php5.6-ldap
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php5.6-ldap'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php5.6-ldap'
I have also tried to install on W11, but ran into issues with the extensions for reviewing resumes.

Thanks!

Hi, I'd use PHP 8.2 and use the pHP8.2 branch at the moment.

I use the OpenCATS Docker Setup. This is currently the most stable and maintainable way to run OpenCATS locally, as it handles PHP 5.6 and required extensions for you.

Since, you are looking for PHP v5.6, You may try out the below reference link

Warning!
PHP 5.6 reached its End of Life (EOL), meaning it no longer receives security patches, updates, or support. Running PHP 5.6 could expose your server to security vulnerabilities and compatibility issues.

thank you
