This version is written in PHP and it requires PHP and Composer and a unix system, the song selector of Climax only works on Unix systems. Tested on Ubuntu (elementaryOS) but should work on others aswell.

It uses my php clipboard helper which requires xclip or xsel on Linux and pbcopy and pbpaste on Darwin
