# Setting up an environment for contributing to SilverStripe {#contributing}
So you want to contribute to SilverStripe? Fantastic! You can do this with composer too.
You have to tell composer three things in order to be able to do this:
- Keep the full git repository information
- Include dependancies marked as "developer" requirements
- Use the development version, not the latest stable version
The first two steps are done as part of the initial create project using additional arguments. For instance:
composer create-project --keep-vcs --dev silverstripe/installer ./my/website/folder 3.0.x-dev
The process will take a bit longer, since all modules are checked out as full git repositories which you can work on.
The `--keep-vcs` flag will make sure you have access to the git history of the installer and the requirements
The `--dev` flag will add a couple modules which are useful for SilverStripe development:
* The `docsviewer` module will let you preview changes to the project documentation
* The `buildtools` module which adds [phing](http://phing.info) tasks for creating SilverStripe releases
Note that you can also include those into an existing project by running `composer update --dev`.
Please read the ["Contributing Code"](/misc/contributing/code) documentation to find out how to
create forks and send pull requests.
