If you want to build an application using Nova 4, visit the main [Nova repository](https://github.com/nova-framework/framework). What is the Nova Framework? --------------------------- [](#what-is-the-nova-framework) Nova Framework is a PHP 7.1 MVC system. It's designed to be lightweight and modular, allowing developers to build better and easy to maintain code with PHP. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) **The framework requirements are limited.** - PHP 7.1 or greater. - Apache Web Server or equivalent with mod rewrite support. - IIS with URL Rewrite module installed - **The following PHP extensions should be enabled:** - Fileinfo (edit php.ini and uncomment php\_fileinfo.dll or use php selector within cpanel if available.) - OpenSSL - INTL > **Note:** Although a database is not required, if a database is to be used, the system is designed to work with a MySQL database using PDO. Installation ------------ [](#installation) This framework was designed and is **strongly recommended** to be installed above the document root directory, with it pointing to the `public` folder. Additionally, installing in a sub-directory, on a production server, will introduce severe security issues. #### Recommended [](#recommended) The framework is located on [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/nova-framework/framework). You can install the framework from a terminal by using: ``` composer create-project nova-framework/framework foldername 4.* -s dev ``` The foldername is the desired folder to be created. > **Note:** You can install the bare application variant from a terminal by using: ``` composer create-project nova-framework/app foldername 4.* -s dev ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Full docs & tutorials are available on [novaframework.com](http://novaframework.com). Offline docs are available in PDF, EPUB and MOBI formats on [Leanpub](https://leanpub.com/novaframeworkmanual22). Screencasts are available on [Novacasts](http://novacasts.com). Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) #### Issue Tracker [](#issue-tracker) You can find outstanding issues on the [GitHub Issue Tracker](https://github.com/nova-framework/system/issues). #### Pull Requests [](#pull-requests) - Each pull request should contain only one new feature or improvement. - Pull requests should be submitted to the correct version branch ie [master](https://github.com/nova-framework/system/tree/master) #### Code Style [](#code-style) All pull requests must use the PSR-2 code style. - Code MUST use the PSR-1 code style. - Code MUST use 4 spaces for indenting, not tabs. - There MUST NOT be a hard limit on line length; the soft limit MUST be 120 characters; lines SHOULD be 80 characters or less. - There MUST be one blank line after the namespace declaration, and there MUST be one blank line after the block of use declarations. - Opening braces for classes MUST go on the next line, and closing braces MUST go on the next line after the body. - Opening braces for methods MUST go on the next line, and closing braces MUST go on the next line after the body. - Visibility MUST be declared on all properties and methods; abstract and final MUST be declared before the visibility; static MUST be declared after the visibility. - Control structure keywords MUST have one space after them; method and function calls MUST NOT. - Opening braces for control structures MUST go on the same line, and closing braces MUST go on the next line after the body. - Opening parentheses for control structures MUST NOT have a space after them, and closing parentheses for control structures MUST NOT have a space before.
