HHVM

HHVM page | HHVM documentation | Hacklang page | General group | Dev group | Twitter

HHVM is an open-source virtual machine designed for executing programs written in Hack. HHVM uses a just-in-time (JIT) compilation approach to achieve superior performance while maintaining the development flexibility that PHP provides.

HHVM is intended for Hack projects, and also supports a large subset of PHP 7 that is required by common tools and libraries. We no longer recommend using HHVM for purely PHP projects.

HHVM should be used together with a webserver like the built in, easy to deploy Proxygen, or a FastCGI-based webserver on top of nginx or Apache.

Installing

If you're new, try our getting started guide.

You can install a prebuilt package or compile from source.

Running

You can run standalone programs just by passing them to hhvm: hhvm my_script.php.

If you want to host a website:

  • Install your favorite webserver. Proxygen is built in to HHVM, fast and easy to deploy.
  • Install our package
  • Start your webserver
  • Run sudo /etc/init.d/hhvm start
  • Visit your site at http://.../index.php

Our getting started guide provides a slightly more detailed introduction as well as links to more information.
