UserFrosting is a free, open-source jumping-off point for building user-centered web applications with PHP and Javascript. It comes with a sleek, modern interface, basic user account features, and an administrative user management system - all fully functioning out of the box.
UserFrosting has a few system requirements. You need to make sure your local UserFrosting development environment meets the following requirements:
Use Composer to create an empty project with the latest version of UserFrosting skeleton into a new UserFrosting
folder. This will clone the skeleton repository and run the installation process.
composer create-project userfrosting/userfrosting UserFrosting "^5.1"
If any dependencies are not met, an error will occur. Simply try again after fixing said error, or manually run composer install
and php bakery bake
from the install directory. For more information about the bake
command, head to the Bakery CLI chapter.
At this point you can run locally using the PHP Server :
cd UserFrosting
php bakery serve
You can now access UserFrosting at : http://localhost:8080
At this point, you should be able to access your application. You should see a basic page:
