Installation Flarum with Github ?

lupyo

Is there a way to install Flarum without composer ? I try since 10 hours and impossible to install Flarum ...

Is it possible to install it with copy the Github file ?

jordanjay29

No, there isn't. The current beta version of Flarum requires Composer.

Some have had success installing Flarum locally with composer on a desktop computer, and then uploading the result to the web. You can follow this tutorial and see if that works.

I have a error message with composer :
[InvalidArgumentException]

Project directory ./ is not empty.

It's already MY own topic ...

Satyajit Please don't hijack someone else's topic.

lupyo I have a feeling Digital just clicked the wrong comment to reply to. Carry on here, no worries.

You need to run the command in an empty folder. Either move or remove the contents of your current folder, or create one beneath it to install flarum in. The . (dot) in the create command stands for the folder, you may replace it with the name of your new folder if you create a new one.

I am on Mac os.
When i install Composer, it download a file composer.phar in the folder (folder : flarum).
If i try command order in other folder, composer doesn't work.
So the folder is not empty because i must use flarum folder with the file composer.phar

lupyo I understand, I ran into this myself. You can do this one of two ways:

Move composer.phar into the folder directly above the flarum folder. Now run:
../composer.phar create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta

Create a new directory inside the folder where you have composer.phar. Now run:
composer.phar create-project flarum/flarum newfolder --stability=beta

Replace newfolder with your new folder's name, obviously.

Let me know which one you used and if those work.

For the moment i test the first. flarum folder is empty, and i put the composer.phar in the parent folder.
I order command with : ../composer.phar create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta but i have the same message error
[InvalidArgumentException]

Project directory ./ is not empty.

lupyo There might be a hidden file in your directory. This happens sometimes with failed Flarum installs, the .git folder is created and the . hides it from normal view.

Turn on Hidden Files/Folders in your settings to view it.

You can also use rm -rf .git to do this if that's the offending folder. You can use ls -a to see the entire contents, hidden or not, of a folder.

For the second method :
I have composer.phar in folder : flarum
i create a new folder "newfolder"
And i test order command : composer.phar create-project flarum/flarum newfolder --stability=beta

Message error : -bash: composer.phar: command not found

I test this order in flarum folder AND newfodler folder.

lupyo

No hidden files ...

jordanjay29

Sorry. I forgot the php command. I guess I need more coffee, too.

php composer.phar create-project flarum/flarum newfolder --stability=beta

lupyo

Very good !, Now it's downloading with the second solution and "php composer.phar create-project flarum/flarum newfolder --stability=beta"

Thank you very much

lupyo

Now, when i put information for the installation, i have a simply error :
"Something went wrong: Password must be at least 8 characters."

But it's the "MYSQL username" input who are highlighted. And my password are 8 character.

May be the problem come from in reality of my Username "root" ? But the problem, i can't change this name with MAMP PRO.

Can you take a screenshot of what you're seeing?
