SproutCMS was built to reward innovation and encourage developers to produce complex applications. It is built by developers, for developers. Website: Development docs: User manual: Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.1 or later - A web server, e.g. Apache or nginx - MySQL 8.0 or later, or MariaDB 10.3 or later - Composer 2 or later Getting started --------------- [](#getting-started) 1. Run `composer create-project sproutcms/site` 2. Run `composer serve` 3. Browse to This is a quick start example. For a detailed installation walk-through see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) Deployment ---------- [](#deployment) SproutCMS runs natively with [git deploy](https://github.com/mislav/git-deploy). 1. Set up your remote, e.g. ``` git remote add production "user@example.com:/apps/mynewapp" ``` 2. Run the setup task ``` git deploy setup -r "production" ``` 3. No need to run `git deploy init` as this has already been done 4. Push the code ``` git push production master ``` Development tools ----------------- [](#development-tools) To run unit tests, execute the following from the root directory: ``` $ composer test ``` To run [NStrack](https://github.com/Karmabunny/nstrack), our namespace issue finder and fixer, run from the root directory, e.g. ``` $ composer nstrack ``` To add license blocks to recently added files, run the following from the root directory: ``` $ php tools/license_block/license_block.php ``` Publishing ---------- [](#publishing) *(for contributors)* To publish a new version simply create a git tag with the next appropriate version. This is then automatically pushed to [packagist.org](https://packagist.org/packages/sproutcms/cms) via a web hook. We've created a script to automate this: ``` ./tools/publish.sh v4.x.x "My new changes" ``` For example, given the last version (from `git log`) is `v3.2.10` then tag and push `v3.2.11`. Please be careful and don't publish untested code. Keep your messy business in a branch and require it into your projects using the `dev-` prefixes. Such as: ``` composer require sproutcms/cms:dev-my-broken-branch ``` Or use the `composer patch-locals` script to symlink the dependency while locally building your site. ### Health Score 60 — FairBetter than 98% of packages Maintenance88 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity33 Limited adoption so far Community28 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity81 Battle-tested with a long release history 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.
