Português (do Brasil)	FastSitePHP Starter Site

This is the main Starter Site for FastSitePHP. It includes several examples pages and provides a basic directory/file structure. The site is designed to provide structure for basic content (JavaScript, CSS, etc) while remaining small in size so that it is easy to remove files you don’t need and customize it for your site.

🚀 Getting Started

Getting started with PHP and FastSitePHP is extremely easy. If you do not have PHP installed then see instructions for Windows, Mac, and Linux on the getting started page:

https://www.fastsitephp.com/en/getting-started

The starter site does not include the Framework so you will need to run scripts/install.php to download it and install it. Once setup you can launch a site from the command-line as show below or if you use a Code Editor or IDE [Visual Studio Code, GitHub Atom, etc] then you can launch the site directly from your editor. See the above getting started page for more.

Download and run this site

# Download this Repository
cd {starter-site-root}
php ./scripts/install.php
php -S localhost:3000

Create a new project using Composer (PHP Dependency/Package Manager)

In addition to downloading this repository you can also start a new project using Composer.

composer create-project fastsitephp/starter-site my-app
cd my-app
php -S localhost:3000

Install directly on a server

A bash script is available for a quick setup of a Web Server (Apache or nginx), PHP, and FastSitePHP with a Starter Site. This script works for a full setup on a default OS when nothing is installed.

Supported Operating Systems (more will be added in the future):

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Confirmed Cloud Environments:

Amazon AWS Lightsail with user ubuntu
DigitalOcean with user root

wget https://www.fastsitephp.com/downloads/create-fast-site.sh
sudo bash create-fast-site.sh

Supported Versions of PHP

The FastSitePHP Starter Site works with all versions of PHP from 5.3 to 8.2.
If you need to install the Starter Site on a Server with PHP 5.3 you will need to set the short_open_tag = On on your server's php.ini file.
