Welcome! This is a Bolt 4 project, set up using composer create-project
. If
you are the developer of this project, you can modify this README to the
specifics of your project. Below are the general instructions to set up a new
project, based off the same skeleton.
Note: If you're updating from an earlier beta, read UPDATE.md for details.
Set up a new Bolt 4 project, using the following command, replacing
myprojectname
with your desired project's name.
composer create-project bolt/project myprojectname
Navigate into the newly created folder, and configure the database in .env
.
You can skip this step, if you'd like to use SQLite.
# SQLite
DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///%kernel.project_dir%/var/data/bolt.sqlite
# MySQL
DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:"root%1"@127.0.0.1:3306/four
Set up the database, create the first user and add fixtures (dummy content):
bin/console bolt:setup
Run Bolt using the built-in webserver, Symfony CLI, Docker or your own preferred webserver:
bin/console server:start
or…
symfony server:start -d
symfony open:local
or…
make docker-install
Finally, open the new installation in a browser. If you've used one of the
commands above, you'll find the frontpage at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
The Bolt admin panel can be found at http://127.0.0.1:8000/bolt
Log in using the credentials you created when setting up the first user.
