It provides a modular full-stack development environment manager, enabling developers to run essential services like Apache, Nginx, PHP, Node.js, Python, and various databases directly on their system. Unlike container-based solutions, FlyEnv focuses on native execution, offering superior performance and minimal resource usage, making it a faster alternative to Docker Desktop, XAMPP, or Laravel Herd.\n\n## Why Use FlyEnv?\n\nFlyEnv stands out by offering a development experience that combines the best aspects of traditional native setups with modern flexibility, without the overhead of virtualization.\n\n*   **Native Speed and Performance**: By running services as static binaries, FlyEnv ensures faster I/O and instant startup times, outperforming container-based solutions like Docker Desktop.\n*   **Low Resource Usage**: FlyEnv is modular, installing only the runtimes you explicitly need. This results in significantly lower RAM consumption compared to heavy virtualization tools.\n*   **Project Isolation**: Automatically switch Node.js or PHP versions when you navigate into a project directory, ensuring a clean and isolated environment for each project.\n*   **Rapid Setup**: Get your full development environment ready in under 60 seconds, bypassing the slow builds and manual configurations often associated with other tools.\n*   **Full Stack Ready**: Easily enable and manage a wide array of services including Redis, MongoDB, Minio, and more, all with one click.\n*   **Developer-Friendly Tools**: Includes features for creating local domains with one-click HTTPS, direct editing of configuration files (e.g., `php.ini`, `my.cnf`), real-time log viewing, and port management.\n\n## Installation\n\nFlyEnv offers straightforward installation across all major operating systems.\n\n### Windows (Recommended)\n\n*   **Installer**: [FlyEnv-Setup-4.14.0.exe](https://github.com/xpf0000/FlyEnv/releases/download/v4.14.0/FlyEnv-Setup-4.14.0.exe){:target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"}\n*   **Portable**: [FlyEnv-Portable-4.14.0.exe](https://github.com/xpf0000/FlyEnv/releases/download/v4.14.0/FlyEnv-Portable-4.14.0.exe){:target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"}\n\n### macOS\n\n*   **Homebrew**:\n    bash\n    brew install flyenv\n    \n*   **DMG (Intel)**: [FlyEnv-4.14.0.dmg](https://github.com/xpf0000/FlyEnv/releases/download/v4.14.0/FlyEnv-4.14.0.dmg){:target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"}\n*   **DMG (Apple Silicon)**: [FlyEnv-4.14.0-arm64.dmg](https://github.com/xpf0000/FlyEnv/releases/download/v4.14.0/FlyEnv-4.14.0-arm64.dmg){:target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"}\n\n### Linux\n\nFlyEnv supports Debian/Ubuntu (.deb) and RedHat/CentOS (.rpm) based distributions.\n\n#### Debian / Ubuntu\n\n*   **x86_64**: [FlyEnv-4.14.0-x64.deb](https://github.com/xpf0000/FlyEnv/releases/download/v4.14.0/FlyEnv-4.14.0-x64.deb){:target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"}\n*   **ARM64**: [FlyEnv-4.14.0-arm64.deb](https://github.com/xpf0000/FlyEnv/releases/download/v4.14.0/FlyEnv-4.14.0-arm64.deb){:target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"}\n\n#### Red Hat / Fedora / SUSE / CentOS\n\n*   **x86_64**: [FlyEnv-4.14.0-x64.rpm](https://github.com/xpf0000/FlyEnv/releases/download/v4.14.0/FlyEnv-4.14.0-x64.rpm){:target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"}\n*   **ARM64**: [FlyEnv-4.14.0-arm64.rpm](https://github.com/xpf0000/FlyEnv/releases/download/v4.14.0/FlyEnv-4.14.0-arm64.rpm){:target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"}\n\n## Tailored for Your Workflow\n\nFlyEnv is designed to cater to various development stacks, providing specialized support for different programming ecosystems.\n\n*   **For PHP & Laravel Developers**: Enjoy instant switching between PHP versions (5.6, 7.4, 8.x), run Nginx/Apache, MySQL, Redis, and Mailpit out of the box.
