Flarum Installation

Ralt

My webhost has no access to SSH and I have no idea what to do. Flarum looks amazing, and is something I'd really like. I've tried everything, installing it on my PC and moving it to my webhost, downloaidng the Github source and trying to set that up, nothing. If there's anyone who can get Flarum running on my webhost for me, I would be very grateful. Webhost access will be granted for whomever can help me. Thank you!

There are some guides for downloading it onto the local computer (which you mention trying) and uploading to the server.
However, the current requirements include command line access (typically through ssh) and with reason as it permits (with composer)

Installation
Updating
Management of extensions
- Install
- Update
- Remove

.. which as I understand it, are otherwise not currently possible without it.

There are plans for not needing ssh access and completing everything through the web UI but they are not completed yet. Look at the github issues for flarum. #880 might be a start

So if you want want to have flarum now in a functional manner, you should consider switching to a hoster that allows command line level access.

If you just want to test it, you can utilize Devflarum

Kulga I guess this will do. So, all I have UniServerZ running and I have installed composer on my computer. I want to give this thing another try. What do I do now?
