Goals

  • Fast and simple. No clutter, no bloat, no complex dependencies. Flarum is built with PHP so it's quick and easy to deploy. The interface is powered by Mithril, a highly performant JavaScript framework with a tiny footprint.
  • Beautiful and responsive. This is forum software for humans. Flarum is carefully designed to be consistent and intuitive across platforms, out-of-the-box. It's backed by LESS, so themeing is a cinch.
  • Powerful and extensible. Customize, extend, and integrate Flarum to suit your community. Flarum's architecture is amazingly flexible, prioritizing comprehensive APIs and great documentation.
  • Free and open. Flarum is released under the MIT license.

Installation

Flarum is currently in development and will be ready to use later this year. (Roadmap) If you want to give the development version a spin or are interested in contributing, for now you can install Flarum's Vagrant image. An easier installation process will become a priority once Flarum is more stable.

  1. Install Vagrant and VirtualBox.
  2. Clone this repository and set up the Vagrant box:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/flarum/flarum.git
cd flarum
