Installation

Getting started

Create a project folder anywhere you like, enter the folder and execute the following commands:

npm install webiny

: Make sure you have node_modules folder inside your project folder, otherwise npm will install the webiny module inside your home folder.

This will install a Webiny CLI tool you will use to setup everything else. After `npm` finishes the installation, run `webiny` file that is created in your project and follow the on-screen instructions that will guide you through the setup process of the platform

node webiny

Dependencies

Webiny requires a web server with the following dependencies installed:

• PHP v7+
• MongoDb v3+
• Nginx v1.11+
• NPM v3+

Vagrant

If you don't want to hassle with installing the dependencies, you can use our Vagrant machine, which will get you running in few minutes.

First clone our vagrant git repo in one of your local folders:

git clone https://github.com/Webiny/WebinyDevVagrantBox.git

Make sure you have vagrant and VirtualBox installed. Inside the cloned folder, run:

vagrant box add webiny/webiny-dev

Once the box is installed:

vagrant up

and then use the following command to ssh into your vagrant machine.

vagrant ssh

Now you can run the upper npm command from vagrant and install Webiny.

: Note that our vagrant box by default maps the vagrant /home/vagrant/Code folder to the Code folder on your local drive. The folder on the local drive is located in the folder where you cloned the WebinyDevVagrantBox repo.
