typo3 Installation & Setup Installation with composer
Example
TYPO3 can be solely installed with the PHP dependency manager composer. Composer has to be available on the server, then a TYPO3 project can be started by using the base distribution.
composer create-project typo3/cms-base-distribution .
This will pull the TYPO3 core from the git repository, download it to vendor/typo3/cms/ and create a folder called web/ that will be the document root of the project.
The base distribution contains nothing more than acomposer.json and a .gitignore file to get a project startet. These files could also be created by hand. The composer.json could look like this:
{
"repositories": [
{ "type": "composer", "url": "https://composer.typo3.org/" }
],
"name": "typo3/cms-base-distribution",
"description" : "TYPO3 CMS Base Distribution",
"license": "GPL-2.0+",
"require": {
"typo3/cms": "^7.6"
},
"extra": {
"typo3/cms": {
"cms-package-dir": "{$vendor-dir}/typo3/cms",
"web-dir": "web"
}
}
}
When this file is created by hand the command composer update will also fetch all files needed for a TYPO3 project.
