Fully customizable and [PSR](https://www.php-fig.org) compatible PHP framework

1. Run `composer create-project frostnova/starter ` to create a new project.
    - If you plan to use Docker, make sure that you have (locally) same PHP version as [the version `^8.0.0`](https://github.com/ironexdev/frostnova-docker/blob/master/images/app/Dockerfile) that is used in frostnova/docker
2. Prepare development environment
    - With Docker
        - Run `composer run add-docker` from the newly created project to add Docker development environment.
        - Edit domain in [http server configuration](https://github.com/ironexdev/frostnova-docker/blob/master/images/http-proxy/default.conf)
        - Run `docker-compose up -d`
    - Without Docker
        - Start your local http server
3. Add `127.0.0.1 ` to etc/hosts
4. Go to `http://` in your browser
