🚀 Repo to `composer create project` a Bolt Four project.

Bolt 4 standard project skeleton

With the release of Bolt 4 stable, there will be a number of ways to install the application. For now, we recommend the composer create-project as the fastest way to get an installation of Bolt up and running.

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.
