# Installing and Upgrading with Composer
|
||||
|

Composer is a package management tool for PHP that lets you install and upgrade SilverStripe and its modules. Although installing Composer is one extra step, it will give you much more flexibility than just downloading the file from silverstripe.org. This is our recommended way of downloading SilverStripe and managing your code.

It is also possible to keep `composer.phar` out of your path, for example, to put it in your project root. Every command would then start with `php composer.phar` instead of `composer`. This is handy if need to keep your installation isolated from the rest of your computer's set-up, but we recommend putting composer into the path for most people.

#### Updating composer
|
||||
|
||||
If you already have composer installed you can update it by running:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo composer self-update
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo composer self-update
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Composer updates regularly, so you should run this command fairly often. These instructions assume you are running the latest version.

## Create a new site
|
||||
|
||||
Composer can create a new site for you, using the installer as a template (by default composer will download the latest stable version):
|
||||
|
||||
composer create-project silverstripe/installer ./my/website/folder
|
||||
```
|
||||
composer create-project silverstripe/installer ./my/website/folder
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`./my/website/folder` should be the root directory where your site will live.
|
||||
For example, on OS X, you might use a subdirectory of `~/Sites`.
|
||||
As long as your web server is up and running, this will get all the code that you need.

Composer isn't only used to download SilverStripe CMS, it is also used to manage all SilverStripe modules. Installing a module can be done with the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
composer require "silverstripe/forum:*"
|
||||
```
|
||||
composer require silverstripe/forum
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will install the forum module in the latest compatible version. If you know the specific version you want to install already (such as `^0.8`), you can add it after the package name. For more information, read the [Composer documentation](http://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#the-require-key):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
composer require silverstripe/forum ^0.8
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will install the forum module in the latest compatible version.
|
||||
By default, Composer updates other existing modules (like `framework` and `cms`),
|
||||
and installs "dev" dependencies like PHPUnit. In case you don't need those dependencies,
|
||||
use the following command instead:
|
||||
|
||||
composer require --no-update "silverstripe/forum:*"
|
||||
composer update --no-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
composer require --no-update silverstripe/forum
|
||||
composer update --no-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `require` command has two parts. First is `silverstripe/forum`. This is the name of the package.

You can find other packages with the following command:

|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
composer search silverstripe
|
||||
```
|

|
||||
This will return a list of package names of the forum `vendor/package`. If you prefer, you can search for packages on [packagist.org](https://packagist.org/search/?q=silverstripe).
|
||||
|
||||
The second part after the colon, `*`, is a version string. `*` is a good default: it will give you the latest version that works with the other modules you have installed. Alternatively, you can specificy a specific version, or a constraint such as `>=3.0`. For more information, read the [Composer documentation](http://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#the-require-key).

`master` is not a legal version string - it's a branch name. These are different things. The version string that would get you the branch is `dev-master`. The version string that would get you a numeric branch is a little different. The version string for the `3.0` branch is `3.0.x-dev`.

## Deploying projects with Composer

||||
|
||||
When deploying projects with composer, you could just push the code and run `composer update`. However, this is risky. In particular, if you were referencing development dependencies and a change was made between your testing and your depoyment to production, you would end up deploying untested code. Not cool!

|
||||
|

The `composer.lock` file helps with this. It references the specific commits that have been checked out, rather than the version string. You can run `composer install` to install dependencies from this rather than `composer.json`.

* Run `composer install --no-dev -o` on your production version. In this command, the `--no-dev` command tells Composer not to install your development-only dependencies, and `-o` is an alias for `--optimise-autoloader`, which will convert your PSR-0 and PSR-4 autoloader definitions into a classmap to improve the speed of the autoloader.

### Forks and branch names
|
||||
|
||||
Generally, you should keep using the same pattern of branch names as the main repositories does. If your version is a fork of 3.0, then call the branch `3.0`, not `3.0-myproj` or `myproj`. Otherwise, the dependency resolution gets confused.

|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes, however, this isn't feasible. For example, you might have a number of project forks stored in a single repository, such as your personal github fork of a project. Or you might be testing/developing a feature branch. Or it might just be confusing to other team members to call the branch of your modified version `3.0`.

|
||||
This will also add extra dependencies, the `reports` and `siteconfig` modules. SilverStripe CMS is becoming more modular, and [composer is becoming the preferred way to manage your code](/getting_started/composer).
|
||||
|
||||
### Asset-admin
|
||||
|
||||
SilverStripe 4 comes with a new asset administration module. While it is installed by default for new projects, if you are upgrading you will need to install it manually:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
composer require silverstripe/asset-admin ^1.0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will also install the `graphql` module for GraphQL API access to your SilverStripe system, which powers the `asset-admin` module.
|
||||
|
||||
## Manual
|
||||
|
||||
* Check if any modules (e.g. blog or forum) in your installation are incompatible and need to be upgraded as well
|
||||
* Backup your database content
|
||||
* Backup your webroot files
|
||||
* Download the new release and uncompress it to a temporary folder
|
||||
* Leave custom folders like *mysite* or *themes* in place.
|
||||
* Identify system folders in your webroot (`cms`, `framework` and any additional modules).
|
||||
* Delete existing system folders (or move them outside of your webroot)
|
||||
* Extract and replace system folders from your download (Deleting instead of "copying over" existing folders ensures that files removed from the new SilverStripe release are not persisting in your installation).
|
||||
* As of SilverStripe CMS 3.2.0 you will also need to include the `reports` and `siteconfig` modules to ensure feature parity with previous versions of the CMS.
|
||||
* Visit http://yoursite.com/dev/build/?flush=1 to rebuild the website database.
|
||||
* Check if you need to adapt your code to changed PHP APIs
|
||||
* Check if you have overwritten any core templates or styles which might need an update.
|
||||
* Check if any modules (e.g. `blog` or `forum`) in your installation are incompatible and need to be upgraded as well.
|
||||
* Backup your database content.
|
||||
* Backup your webroot files.
|
||||
* Download the new release and uncompress it to a temporary folder.
|
||||
* Leave custom folders like *mysite* or *themes* in place.
|
||||
* Identify system folders in your webroot (`cms`, `framework` and any additional modules).
|
||||
* Delete existing system folders (or move them outside of your webroot).
|
||||
* Rename your `Page_Controller` class to `PageController`.
|
||||
* Add a `private static $table_name = 'MyDataObject'` for any custom DataObjects in your code that are namespaced. This ensures that your database table name will be `MyDataObject` instead of `Me\MyPackage\Model\MyDataObject` (your namespace for the class).
|
||||
* Ensure you add [namespaces](http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.php) to any custom classes in your `mysite` folder. Your namespaces should follow the pattern of `Vendor\Package` with anything additional defined at your discretion. **Note:** The `Page` and `PageController` classes *must* be defined in the global namespace (or; without a namespace).
|
||||
* Install the updated framework, CMS and any other modules you require by updating your `composer.json` configuration and running `composer update`. As of SilverStripe 4.0.0 you should also include the `asset-admin` module to power your asset management in the CMS.
|
||||
* Check if you need to adapt your code to changed PHP APIs. For more information please refer to [the changelog](/changelogs/4.0.0). There is an upgrader tool available to help you with most of the changes required (see below).
|
||||
* Visit http://yoursite.com/dev/build/?flush=1 to rebuild the website database.

If you've already had a look over the changelog, you will see that there are some fundamental changes that need to be implemented to upgrade from 3.x. Here's a couple of the most important ones to consider:
|
||||
|
||||
* PHP 5.5 is now the minimum required version (and PHP 7.x is supported!).
|
||||
* All SilverStripe classes are now namespaced, and some have been renamed. Most of your modules will also have been namespaced, and you will need to consider this when updating class references (including YAML configuration) in your own code.
|
||||
* CMS CSS has been re-developed using Bootstrap 4 as a base.
|
||||
* SilverStripe code _should_ now be [PSR-2 compliant](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/). While this is not a requirement, we strongly suggest you switch over now. You can use tools such as [`phpcbf`](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Fixing-Errors-Automatically) to do most of it automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
We've also introduced some best practices for module development. [See the Modules article](/developer_guides/extending/modules) for more information.

## Decision Helpers
|
||||
|
||||
How easy will it be to update my project? It's a fair question, and sometimes a difficult one to answer.
|
||||
|
||||
* "Micro" releases (x.y.z) are explicitly backwards compatible, "minor" and "major" releases can deprecate features and change APIs (see our [release process](/contributing/release_process) for details)
|
||||
* If you've made custom branches of SilverStripe core, or any thirdparty module, it's going to be harder to upgrade.
|
||||
* The more custom features you have, the harder it will be to upgrade. You will have to re-test all of those features, and adapt to API changes in core.
|
||||
* The more custom features you have, the harder it will be to upgrade. You will have to re-test all of those features, and adapt to API changes in core.
|
||||
* Customizations of a well defined type - such as custom page types or custom blog widgets - are going to be easier to upgrade than customisations that modify deep system internals like rewriting SQL queries.
