Overview of dependency reports

You can run the following types of reports:

  • Module dependencies: Shows the total number of dependencies between modules and whether the dependencies are hard or soft
  • Circular dependencies: Shows the total number of dependency chains and the number and list of circular dependencies for each module

  • Framework dependencies: Shows the total number of dependencies on the Magento framework by module (including the total number of framework entries for each library)

    A dependency in a comment is also a dependency.

First steps

  1. Log in to the Magento server as, or switch to, a user who has permissions to write to the Magento file system. One way to do this is to switch to the Magento file system owner.

    If you use the bash shell, you can also use the following syntax to switch to the Magento file system owner and enter the command at the same time:

    su <Magento file system owner> -s /bin/bash -c <command>

  2. To run Magento commands from any directory, add <your Magento install dir>/bin to your system PATH.

    Because shells have differing syntax, consult a reference like unix.stackexchange.com.

    bash shell example for CentOS:

    export PATH=$PATH:/var/www/html/magento2/bin

You can also run the commands in the following ways:

  • cd <your Magento install dir>/bin and run them as ./magento <command name>
  • php <your Magento install dir>/bin/magento <command name>

<your Magento install dir> is a subdirectory of your web server's docroot. Need help locating the docroot? Click here.
