Joomlatools Console
===================

[](#joomlatools-console)

[Joomlatools Console](https://www.joomlatools.com/developer/tools/console/) simplifies the management of Joomla sites. It is designed to work on Linux and MacOS. Windows users can use it in [Joomlatools Server](https://github.com/joomlatools/joomlatools-server).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP7.3 or newer
- Linux, MacOS, or [Joomlatools Server](https://github.com/joomlatools/joomlatools-server)
- Composer
- Joomla 3.1 or newer

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

[](#installation)

1. Install using Composer:

`$ composer global require joomlatools/console`

1. Tell your system where to find the executable by adding the composer directory to your PATH. Add the following line to your shell configuration file called either .profile, .bash\_profile, .bash\_aliases, or .bashrc. This file is located in your home folder.

`$ export PATH="$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin"`

For Ubuntu 19+ you may find you should use:

`export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin"`

1. Verify the installation

`$ joomla --version`

1. To create a new site with the latest Joomla version, run:

```
   joomla site:create testsite
```

The newly installed site will be available at /var/www/testsite and testsite.test after that. The default Super User's name and password is set to: `admin` / `admin`.

By default, the web server root is set to */var/www*. You can pass *--www=/my/server/path* to commands for custom values. You can choose the Joomla version or the sample data to be installed:

```
  joomla site:create testsite --release=4.0 --sample-data=blog
```

1. For other available options, run:

`$ joomla --list`

1. Read our [documentation pages](https://www.joomlatools.com/developer/tools/console/) to learn more about using the tool.

Development
-----------

[](#development)

To setup the tool for development:

1. Clone the repository:

```
git clone git@github.com:joomlatools/joomlatools-console.git

```

1. Fetch the dependencies:

```
composer install

```

1. Now you can execute the tool with:

```
bin/joomla list

```

1. Happy coding!
