Before running a dev/build the first time, you need to specify dev as your environment type. The variable wasn't mentioned as part of the list so I've added it. Let me know if it's not clear about the difference between the states, or it should be better documented here somehow.

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