I spent 3 days and installed flarum beta9 on windows.
I have encountered many problems during：
1、Composer source problem
Because I am in China, using this source https://packagist.phpcomposer.com, the installation is often stuck in Updating dependencies (including require-dev)。
Finally, use the source of https://mirrors.aliyun.com/composer/ to complete the installation process!
There is a problem with this step, please replace the source of the composition
e.g：Unable to access the public folder under the root directory, please check if this is the reason
e.g：
2、PHP and Mysql version issues
I tried php7.1.30 \ 7.2 \ 7.3.2 and all failed.
Finally, the test was successful on PHP-7.1.7+Mysql (10.1.25-MariaDB).
3、I have seen the feedback from other friends in the community.
e.g：SQL error SQLSTATE[42000]【Mysql MariaDB version issue】
e.g：Base table or view not found: Table 'database.prefix_settings' doesn't exist【Mysql MariaDB version issue】
Please control your Mysql MariaDB version to 10.1 Or MySQL version control to 5.7
I am not a developer. Introduce the flarum through a programmer friend. Flarum is a very good lightweight forum program that pays tribute to the team that developed the program.
