🏗️ 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](phpBB/docs/vagrant.md) to find out how to use Vagrant to develop and contribute to phpBB.

📓 Documentation

phpBB's Development Documentation contains all the information you'll need to learn about developing for phpBB's core, extensions and automated testing.

🔬 Automated Testing
