OctoberCMS is a powerful CMS based on Laravel PHP Framework.

Requirements

1. PHP >= 7.4
2. Composer 2
3. October CMS License Key (auth.json)

Getting Started

1. Clone to your base project directory.

   git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/octobroid/oc-boilerplate.git <project-name>
   

2. Go to the project folder and don't forget to remove .git folder. Create your own repository.

   cd <project-name>
   rm -rf ./.git

4. Install composer dependencies.

   composer install
   

5. Create configuration file .env (copy from .env.example) and set the database configuration.

   DB_HOST=localhost
