title: Getting Started
|
|
introduction: Silverstripe is a web application. This means that you will need to have a webserver and database. We will take you through the setup of the server environment as well the application itself.

## Server Requirements
|
|
|
|
Silverstripe requires PHP 7.1 or newer. It runs on many webservers and databases, but is most commonly served using
|
|
Apache and MySQL/MariaDB.
|
|
|
|
If you are setting up your own environment, you'll need to consider a few configuration settings such as URL rewriting
|
|
and protecting access to certain files. Refer to our [server requirements](server_requirements) for details.
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart Installation
|
|
|
|
If you're running Apache with MySQL/MariaDB already, and know your way around webservers, follow these steps to get
|
|
started. Silverstripe is installed via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org), a package management tool for PHP that lets
|
|
you install and upgrade the framework and other modules. Assuming you've got this tool, run the following command to
|
|
install Silverstripe:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
composer create-project silverstripe/installer my-project
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Within the newly created `my-project` folder, point your webserver at the `public/` folder.
|
|
|
|
Now create a `.env` file your project root (not the `public/` folder). It sets up the minimum
|
|
required [environment variables](environment_management). Replace the placeholders as required:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SS_DATABASE_CLASS="MySQLDatabase"
|
|
SS_DATABASE_NAME="<database>"
|
|
SS_DATABASE_SERVER="localhost"
|
|
SS_DATABASE_USERNAME="<user>"
|
|
SS_DATABASE_PASSWORD="<password>"
|
|
SS_DEFAULT_ADMIN_USERNAME="admin"
|
|
SS_DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD="password"
|
|
SS_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE="<dev|test|live>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you should be able to build your database by running this command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vendor/bin/sake dev/build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your website should be available on your domain now (e.g. `http://localhost`). The CMS login can be accessed at `/admin`.
|
|
|
|

|
|
