I can not install it

eujjRener

Hello, I'm trying to install flarum, but I'm not succeeding at all... Can someone explain each of the steps to me?

eujjRener what have you tried so far, where do you get stuck at?

eujjRener

I installed composer, normally, through composer create-project flarum/flarum .
Everything was installed normally, but it turned yellow " Package swiftmailer/swiftmailer is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use symfony/mailer instead." Then I don't know how to proceed any further

eujjRener the swiftmailer line is only a warning for developers in the Composer output. You can ignore it. The remaining of the Composer output should let you know if it was successful or not.

If you are not sure if the installation was successful or not, please send a screenshot/copy of the file listing in the directory after running Composer and/or the Composer command output.

If the files have been created, you can proceed setting up the DocumentRoot to the public folder and accessing the web installation wizard where you will see if any dependency failed to install or is missing from the server.

clarkwinkelmann Where is this DocumentRoot file, and how do you configure it? And how do I access the installation via the web?

eujjRener I'm referring to the step immediately after the Composer command https://docs.flarum.org/install#installing

If you need help with that, please share more details about your hosting. Is it a shared and/or managed web hosting? Do you have an admin panel to configure sites? Do you know which webserver software your hosting runs?

"DocumentRoot" is the name of the configuration in Apache web server. If you are using a different web server or have a management panel it might be called differently.
