The framework source code can be found here: [cakephp/cakephp](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp). Installation ------------ [](#installation) 1. Download [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) or update `composer self-update`. 2. Run `php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app [app_name]`. If Composer is installed globally, run ``` composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app ``` In case you want to use a custom app dir name (e.g. `/myapp/`): ``` composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app myapp ``` You can now either use your machine's webserver to view the default home page, or start up the built-in webserver with: ``` bin/cake server -p 8765 ``` Then visit `http://localhost:8765` to see the welcome page. Demo app -------- [](#demo-app) Check out the [5.x-demo branch](https://github.com/cakephp/app/tree/5.x-demo), which contains demo migrations and a seeder. See the [README](https://github.com/cakephp/app/blob/5.x-demo/README.md) on how to get it running. Update ------ [](#update) Since this skeleton is a starting point for your application and various files would have been modified as per your needs, there isn't a way to provide automated upgrades, so you have to do any updates manually. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) Read and edit the environment specific `config/app_local.php` and set up the `'Datasources'` and any other configuration relevant for your application. Other environment agnostic settings can be changed in `config/app.php`. Layout ------ [](#layout) The app skeleton uses [Milligram](https://milligram.io/) (v1.3) minimalist CSS framework by default. You can, however, replace it with any other library or custom styles. ### Health Score 73 — ExcellentBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance85 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity63 Solid adoption and visibility Community38 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity92 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
