See https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/9232. Also simplifies composer instructions a bit: - Removes composer update --no-dev references, that's a bit of an edge case that people can just discover on getcomposer.org if they need it - Changed example from the unused and oudated silverstripe/forum to silverstripe/blog - Updated example versions to 4.x - Remove "updating composer" section, it now tells you if its out of date - Remove ss-auto-git-ignore module reference. The module hasn't been updated in ages, and it's much less necessary now that all relevant modules are on composer - Add .env example config to getting started docs, I didn't realise it was stripped from the default --prefer-dist composer install

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"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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`.
|
|
|
|
For more information on how to maintain your installation or install projects,
|
|
check out [Using SilverStripe with Composer](composer).
