Framework ? ------------------------------- [](#what-is-the-joomla-framework-) The `Joomla! Framework` is a platform for writing web and command line applications in PHP. It is free and open source software, distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later. It is composed of code originally developed for the Joomla Content Management System (CMS). For more information about the Joomla CMS visit . For news and information about developing with Joomla, please visit . View the Joomla Framework API Documentation at and is powered by [phpDocumentor 2](http://www.phpdoc.org). You can discuss Joomla Framework development by joining the mailing list at . Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 5.3.10 - Each package has their own requirements as well. Ex: The Image package requires the PHP GD extension. Please see the `composer.json` in each package repository for these requirements. - Applications implementing the Joomla Framework must implement the 'JPATH\_ROOT' constant which should be the root path of the application. Installation ------------ [](#installation) The simplest way to get up and running with the Joomla Framework is to use [composer](http://getcomposer.org). Basic installation for composer can be found below, for additional information on installing composer, [read the documentation](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-nix). ``` curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php ``` ### Full Installation Via Composer [](#full-installation-via-composer) Composer has the ability to download the full stack framework (including all our packages) as a project starter using the "create-project" command. In the example below, "myAwesomeApp" is the folder where you want to create the project. It should not be created yet. ``` php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist joomla/framework myAwesomeApp ``` If you are interested in working with the development code (in the master branch), and not a tagged stable distribution, then pass in the `--stability="dev"` command after `--prefer-dist`. ### Package Installation Via Composer [](#package-installation-via-composer) There are two ways to add our packages to your existing composer powered application. ##### Adding packages manually to the `require` option in your `composer.json`. [](#adding-packages-manually-to-the-require-option-in-your-composerjson) ``` { "require": { "joomla/PACKAGENAME": "VERSION" } } ``` and then run install (or update). ``` php composer.phar install ``` ##### Adding packages using `composer require` [](#adding-packages-using-composer-require) ``` php composer.phar require joomla/packagename:version ``` ### Full Installation Via Git [](#full-installation-via-git) `git clone git://github.com/joomla/joomla-framework.git` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) General documentation about the Joomla Framework can be found under the [/docs](docs/) folder of this repository. In addition, each package has documentation in a `README.md` file. Reporting Bugs and Issue ------------------------ [](#reporting-bugs-and-issue) Bugs and issues found in the Joomla Framework code can be reported on the [Issues](https://github.com/joomla/joomla-framework/issues) list. Even for distributed packages where the code is in another repo, please submit issues to this issue tracker. Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) All kind of contributions are welcome. Please read about how to contribute [here](CONTRIBUTING.markdown). You may find tasks you can do on the [Issues](https://github.com/joomla/joomla-framework/issues) list by filtering on labels and milestones. ### Health Score 41 — FairBetter than 89% of packages Maintenance17 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity42 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community34 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor4 4 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
