Current issue

  1. All commands should be run with php -d memory_limit=-1 *path-to-composer* require instead of composer require (used for readability) since the package has a 100MB file.

  2. When we run the command composer require wemake/aspose-words-windows or composer require wemake/aspose-words-linux the executable is installed and should be available on the vendor/bin folder. The issue is that it throws an error (check storage/logs) since the (I'm assuming) shortcut / symlink wasn't properly generated.

  3. The "solution" I found was to copy the 100MB file on vendor/wemake/aspose-words/bin/aspose-converter to vendor/bin.

Installing fonts (Linux only)

  1. Run sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer to install a collection of Microsoft fonts.

  2. Run sudo fc-cache -f -v to refresh the cache of the font directory

Ubuntu 22.04 (possible issue)

  1. You may run into the issue "No usable version of libssl was found".

  2. Download the file libssl1.0-dev_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.13_amd64.deb from http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/.

  3. Install it by the command dpkg -i libssl1.0-dev_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.13_amd64.deb

  4. You may need to also install the non-dev version libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.13_amd64.deb (from the same website).
