🏗️ 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:
