DDEV-Local: a local PHP development environment system

ddev

ddev is an open source tool that makes it simple to get local PHP development environments up and running in minutes. It's powerful and flexible as a result of its per-project environment configurations, which can be extended, version controlled, and shared. In short, ddev aims to allow development teams to use Docker in their workflow without the complexities of bespoke configuration.

Getting Started

1. Check System Requirements: We support recent versions of macOS, Windows 10, and Linux distributions that will run Docker (ddev requires Docker and docker-compose). (more info here).
2. Install ddev: Options include macOS homebrew (recommended), an install script, or manual installation.
3. Read the Basics and Choose a CMS Quick Start Guide:
