🏗️ Setting up a development build of phpBB
To run an installation from the repo (and not from a pre-built package) on a local server, run the following commands:
- Fork phpbb/phpbb to your GitHub account, then create a local clone of it:
git clone https://github.com/your_github_name/phpbb.git - Install phpBB's dependencies (from the root of your phpbb repo):
cd phpBB php ../composer.phar install
Alternatively, you can read:
- Our Vagrant documentation to find out how to use Vagrant to develop and contribute to phpBB.
- Our GitHub Codespaces documentation to learn about phpBB's cloud-based development environment.
