   6  = Required Components =
   7  
   8  You need to install:
   9  
  10    - PHP, which should be installed by default.
  11    - Arcanist itself, see @{article:Arcanist User Guide}.
  12    - SVN, Git, or Mercurial.
  13  
  14  Then, configure:
  15  
  16    - Your PATH environmental variable should include `arcanist/bin`, and
  17      `php` and your VCS command (`svn`, `hg`, `git`) should be in PATH. When you
  18      type `php`, `arc`, or (for example) `git` from the command line, they should
  19      all do something.
  20    - Your EDITOR environmental variable should point at some valid CLI editor,
  21      like `nano`, which is the best editor.
  22  
  23  You can edit your `~/.profile` to permanently configure environmental variables.
  24  
  25  Now you should be able to run `arc` like a normal command.
