Only use for testing and feedback purposes.** Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - The necessary database server, web server, and PHP installed that meet [modern Drupal requirements](https://www.drupal.org/docs/system-requirements) - Currently only PHP 8.3 is supported. Support for 8.4 will be added later. - Currently MariaDB or MySQL is supported. PostGRES is not. - the Mukurtu Team does our internal work with nginx. Apache SHOULD work fine, but we have not tested it extensively. - [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) - To generate PDF thumbnails, [poppler-utils](https://pypi.org/project/poppler-utils/) must be installed on the server. - To generate thumbnails for uploaded video files, [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) must be installed on the server. - For local development, we encourage using [Docker](https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/install/docker-installation/) and [DDEV](https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/install/ddev-installation/) (which includes composer) Install Mukurtu with DDEV ------------------------- [](#install-mukurtu-with-ddev) Using DDEV is the easiest way to get up and running with Mukurtu locally. - Download and install [DDEV](https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/install/ddev-installation/) - Make a new folder in which to work and initialize a DDEV project inside it. Run the following commands to download and install Mukurtu. ``` mkdir mukurtu cd mukurtu ddev config --project-type=drupal --docroot=web # Optional but recommended: install pdftotext inside the DDEV container: echo "RUN sudo apt -qq update; sudo apt install poppler-utils -y;" > .ddev/web-build/Dockerfile.pdftotext ddev start ddev composer create-project mukurtu/mukurtu-template:dev-main ddev drush si --site-name=Mukurtu --account-name=admin --account-pass=admin ddev launch ``` - If planning to develop on the Mukurtu CMS installation profile, follow the [additional installation steps to connect a Git checkout to the new project](https://github.com/MukurtuCMS/Mukurtu-CMS/wiki). Installing Mukurtu CMS with Composer ------------------------------------ [](#installing-mukurtu-cms-with-composer) If installing directly on a web host that has a command line interface, you can install Mukurtu via composer. - First, [install composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/). If you do not have it already, it can be downloaded into a directory with the following: ``` wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/composer/getcomposer.org/main/web/installer -O - -q | php -- --quiet # Ideally, move composer into an executable path such as /usr/local/bin/composer. # But for use only within the current directory, just rename it. mv composer.phar composer ``` - Install Mukurtu through composer with the following commands: ``` mkdir mukurtu cd mukurtu composer create-project mukurtu/mukurtu-template:dev-main . ``` - Set your web server to serve the "web" folder (e.g. `mukurtu4/web`) - Install Drupal as normal by opening the site in your web browser, the Mukurtu profile distribution will automatically be used. Post-installation Steps ----------------------- [](#post-installation-steps) ### Set up private files [](#set-up-private-files) Access control in Mukurtu depends on the Drupal private file system. You must configure the `file_private_path` setting in settings.php. - Create a folder outside the `web` directory, such as `private_files`. - Open `web/sites/default/settings.php` and modify the `$settings['file_private_path']` line, such as the following: ``` // Specify a private files path. $settings['file_private_path'] = '../../private_files'; ``` - Clear your site cache by visiting `admin/config/development/performance` within your Mukurtu site and clicking "Clear all caches". - Confirm the private files directory is found by visiting `admin/config/media/file-system` within your Mukurtu site. ### Install pdftotext [](#install-pdftotext) The ability to parse PDFs is dependent on the `pdftotext` command line tool. This can be installed in ddev with: ``` echo "RUN sudo apt -qq update; sudo apt install poppler-utils -y;" > .ddev/web-build/Dockerfile.pdftotext ddev restart ``` Or, if hosting your own server with: ``` sudo apt install poppler-utils ``` ### Updates [](#updates) To update your local DDEV environment to a newer version of main, run `ddev composer upgrade`. Note that there may be data changes, so use at your own risk. Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Mukurtu CMS v4 is under active development. Code contribution and feedback is welcome, and can be submitted in [our issues](https://github.com/MukurtuCMS/Mukurtu-CMS/issues) or you can contact us at . ### Health Score 44 — FairBetter than 91% of packages Maintenance76 Regular maintenance activity Popularity30 Limited adoption so far Community24 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity40 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
