Note for Windows users

Unfortunately, cmd.exe has no option to run via shebang #!/usr/bin/env php, so you need to create the following batch file in the proper directory.

For Standalone PHP

@echo OFF
"C:\php\php.exe" "%HOMEPATH%\.composer\vendor\horizom\dev-server\horizom-serve" %*

For XAMPP

@echo OFF
"C:\xampp\php\php.exe" "%HOMEPATH%\.composer\vendor\horizom\dev-server\horizom-serve" %*
