Freesewing core
===============

[](#freesewing-core)

[Freesewing](https://freesewing.org/) is an online platform to draft sewing patterns based on your measurements.

> This is the core repository, which holds the platform and the sewing patterns I maintain.

For all info on what freesewing does/is/provides, please check [the about page](https://freesewing.org/about/) or [documentation](https://freesewing.org/docs/).

System Requirements
-------------------

[](#system-requirements)

- PHP 5.6 or newer
- composer

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

[](#installation)

Full install instructions are available at [freesewing.org/docs/core/install](https://freesewing.org/docs/core/install)but here's the gist of it:

> ##### A note about installing on PHP 5.6
>
> [](#a-note-about-installing-on-php-56)
>
> Core uses a Developer theme that requires PHP 7.0 or newer. However, that theme is only useful for hacking core. So if you just want to run this and maybe design some patterns install without the dev requirements.
>
> In other words, to install on PHP 5.6, pass `--no-dev` to composer
