==================================

[](#the-seed-to-grow-a-new-moodle-site)

[](#features)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Seeding a new Moodle instance

[](#seeding-a-new-moodle-instance)

To create a new Moodle site using the seed project you can simply run:

```
composer create-project moodle/seed [yourlocation]
```

The Moodle scaffolding tool will then guide you through setting up your new Moodle seedling.

Within your new `yourlocation` directory you will find a number of files and folders, including:

- a `composer.json` and `composer.lock` file;
- a `vendor`; and
- a `moodle` directory, containing your Moodle site.

### Specifying a specific version of Moodle

[](#specifying-a-specific-version-of-moodle)

Change directory into your composer root, and run:

```
composer require "moodle/moodle:~5.1.0"
```

For more information on writing version constraints see the [Composer documentation](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/versions.md#writing-version-constraints).

### Adding a Moodle plugin

[](#adding-a-moodle-plugin)

You can require any correctly-configured Moodle plugin which exists in Packagist using Composer:

```
cd [yourlocation]
composer require fmcorz/moodle-block_xp
```
