Here you can browse the source, discuss open issues and keep track of the development. If you are not a developer, we recommend to [download Polylang](https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/) from WordPress directory. [Pre-requisites](#pre-requisites) --------------------------------- [](#pre-requisites) Before starting, make sure that you have the following software installed and working on your computer: 1. A local [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/article/how-to-install-wordpress/) (6.5 or later) instance 2. [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) to clone the Polylang repository (or your fork of the Polylang repository). 3. [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) which provides [NPM](https://docs.npmjs.com/). They are both required by [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/guides/getting-started/) that Polylang uses to build and minify CSS and javascript files. We recommend to install Node.js LTS version. 4. [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) because Polylang uses its autoloader to work and it is required to install development tools such as PHP CodeSniffer that ensures your code follows coding standards. [How to set up Polylang](#how-to-setup-polylang) ------------------------------------------------ [](#how-to-set-up-polylang) The simplest way is to clone locally this repository and build it directly in your local WordPress instance by following the steps below: 1. Go to your local WordPress instance wp-content/plugins/ folder: `cd your/local/wordpress/path/wp-content/plugins` 2. Clone there the polylang repository (or your fork) from GitHub: `git clone https://github.com/polylang/polylang.git` 3. Go to your local Polylang clone folder from there: `cd polylang` 4. Run the composer command: `composer build` 5. Activate Polylang as if you had installed it from WordPress.org: See **Note**: we recommend for Windows users to use `Git Bash` provided with [Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com/download/win) instead of the command or powershell terminal. ### Health Score 67 — FairBetter than 99% of packages Maintenance93 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity54 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community36 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity75 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor3 3 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
