The latest version of the Zoop framework is available at SourceForge.net.
There are three files at SourceForge:
- Zoop—The Zoop Framework.
- Skeleton—A Zoop skeleton application.
- Lib—Zoop's PEAR library dependencies.
Go ahead and download all three.
Installing Zoop
Since Zoop is a PHP framework, you will need a working copy of PHP. If you don't have this, downloads are available from PHP.net. Zoop works great with PHP 4.3.10 or greater. We like PHP 5.2. We also recommend using a PHP Accelerator like eAccelerator.
Begin by extracting the files. On Windows use 7-Zip or another program capable of extracting tar.gz files. Zoop can be installed anywhere on your system. Some people put it in /usr/lib/zoop others put it in ~/zoop . It doesn't matter where you put it, just remember where it is because you need to tell your application.
The lib folder should be placed in the zoop folder, so you should have zoop/lib/pear/... Note that lib isn't strictly necessary. Depending on your system's PEAR installation, you may not need any of the included libraries. We provide them for ease of use, especially for shared hosting where you have no control over the system's PEAR libraries.

The latest Zoop code can also be checked out via subversion.
