Here is a screenshot of the course editor:

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

First, you will need to install the [Elefant CMS](http://www.elefantcms.com/download). Once that is running, follow these steps:

1\. From the root folder of the site run the following command:

```
php composer.phar require elefant/app-courses
```

This will also install the following apps that Courses depends on:

- [Comments](https://github.com/jbroadway/comments)
- [SCORM](https://github.com/jbroadway/scorm)
- [Stripe Payments](https://github.com/jbroadway/stripe)

> **Note:** You may need to add `"minimum-stability": "dev"` to your `composer.json`file in order for Composer to work correctly while Courses is still in development.

> **Payments:** Additional payment providers can be supported by implementing the [payment handler interface found here](https://github.com/jbroadway/stripe#creating-a-member-payment-or-subscription-form). More documentation and examples still to come.

2\. Log into Elefant and run the Courses installer by navigating to Tools &gt; Courses.

3\. Add the following line to the `[Hooks]` section of `conf/config.php` to enable email notifications of comments to course instructors:

```
comments/add[] = courses/hook/comments

```

4\. Go to Tools &gt; Navigation and add the `Courses` page to your site tree.

You should now have a working installation.

First steps
-----------

[](#first-steps)

To create courses, go to Tools &gt; Courses. To install SCORM modules for use in your courses, go to Tools &gt; SCORM. To view the list of courses on your site visit the `/courses` URL and you will see any publicly visible courses listed there.

Documentation

[](#documentation)

Documentation for the Courses app is [managed here](https://github.com/jbroadway/courses-docs). A website for the documentation is coming soon.
