Built on PHP, Symfony and more. [Read the site](https://boltcms.io) for more info. **To check out Bolt and set up your first Bolt installation, read [Installing Bolt 5](https://docs.bolt.cm/installation).** --- Installing Bolt CMS ------------------- [](#installing-bolt-cms) ### with Composer [](#with-composer) **Note**: Installing with composer and running the site on your local machine using the method described below is the preferred method of the Bolt core development team. You can set up a new Bolt project, using the following command, replacing `myprojectname` with your desired project's name. ``` composer create-project bolt/project myprojectname ``` Navigate into the newly created folder, and configure the database in `.env` (The configuration is intended to work with the database SQLite). ``` # Configure database for doctrine/doctrine-bundle # SQLite (note: _three_ slashes) DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///%kernel.project_dir%/var/data/bolt.sqlite # MYSQL / MariaDB #DATABASE_URL=mysql://db_user:"db_password"@127.0.0.1:3306/db_name?serverVersion=5.7 # Postgres #DATABASE_URL=postgresql://db_user:"db_password"@127.0.0.1:5432/db_name?serverVersion=11&charset=utf8 ``` Set up the database, create the first user and add fixtures (dummy content): ``` bin/console doctrine:database:create # Create database bin/console doctrine:schema:create # Create schema in database bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load --no-interaction # Load fixtures in databse (step not compulsory) bin/console bolt:add-user --admin # Follow the creation steps in the console (warning: fixtures already created an admin user) composer run post-create-project-cmd # Duplicate themes in the appropriate folder bin/console bolt:info # Verify Bolt installation ``` Run Bolt using Symfony CLI or your own preferred webserver: ``` symfony server:start -d symfony open:local ``` Finally, open the new installation in a browser. If you've used one of the commands above, you'll find the frontpage at The Bolt admin panel can be found at Log in using the credentials you created when setting up the first user. > Note: If you don't want to use Docker, don't forget to remove what isn't necessary: > \- remove `.dockerignore` file > \- remove `docker-composer.yml` file > \- remove `Dockerfile` file > \- remove `docker` folder ### with Docker [](#with-docker) **Disclaimer**: Docker is not used by the Bolt core development team. Bolt *can* be run using docker, but you are advised to only attempt this if you have enough experience with Docker yourself to understand what is going on in the `Dockerfile` and in `docker-compose.yml`. The included setup might not be a good fit for *your* Dockerized setup. When in doubt, follow general advice on running Symfony projects in docker, as Bolt is built using Symfony. The Bolt team doesn't provide pre-built containers. Start by [downloading the Bolt project distribution `.tar.gz` file](https://github.com/bolt/project/releases/latest), or [generate a GitHub repository from the template we provide](https://github.com/bolt/project/generate). Once you have extracted its content, the resulting directory contains the Bolt project structure. You will add your own code and configuration inside it. **Note**: Try to avoid using the `.zip` file, as it may cause potential permission issues. Bolt is shipped with a [Docker](https://docker.com) setup that makes it easy to get a containerized development environment up and running. If you do not already have Docker on your computer, it's the right time to [install it](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/). On Mac, only [Docker for Mac](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/) is supported. Similarly, on Windows, only [Docker for Windows](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/) is supported. Docker Machine **is not** supported out of the box. Open a terminal, and navigate to the directory containing your project skeleton. Navigate into the newly created folder, and configure environment variables in the `.env` file for Docker & the database MySQL version 5.7. ``` ###> symfony/framework-bundle ### APP_ENV=dev APP_DEBUG=1 APP_SECRET=!ChangeMe!
