Vapor export on modx cloud via SSH - php: not found?

I'm trying to generate a vapour package of a site in modx cloud - I have SSH'd in however when I type php it says



I can't nav to /etc/php5 to have a look due to permissions. Site is too big to run the script in the browser. Therefore I can't run the vapor script - any clues as to why this may be?

Vapor was not originally designed with the intention of moving sites away from the MODx Cloud environment, so it wasn't made easy to use in the Cloud itself.

I have found it necessary to zip up and remove directories with a lot of files, such as the assets/images or the core/packages directory, then run the script from a browser, then replace those directory later.

Thanks Susan - seems like have to go back to FTP and manual phpmyadmin db export. Weird there isn't a download option for snapshots too.

Cheers for the reply!
