Hi,

I can't install with Composer.

Any idea how I can fix this?

I'm still having issues following the documentation to make dbdiff work...

I've had composer install dbdiff in the Z:\path\to\project\vendor directory.

The documentation says

Make sure you are in the root of your application for all the following steps, using 'cd' to navigate on the command line to where you have placed your "dbdiff" folder

We are going to assume that composer.phar is installed inside your "dbdiff" folder. If it is installed elsewhere you will need to use it's exact path

If you didn't install DBDiff with composer, install the dependencies of the project with: php composer.phar install

Make a .dbdiff file by following the File Examples and place it in the root of your "dbdiff" directory

Type ./dbdiff {dbdiff command here e.g. server1.db1:server1.db2} to start the app! See Command-Line API for more details on which commands you can run.

You should see something like...

ℹ Now calculating schema diff for table foo
ℹ Now calculating data diff for table foo
ℹ Now generating UP migration
ℹ Now generating DOWN migration
ℹ Writing migration file to /path/to/dbdiff/migration.sql
✔ Completed

But this happens:

Z:\path\to\project>./dbdiff
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I think either I don't understand the documentation, or the instructions aren't very clear...
