What is Joomla?

Joomla! is a Content Management System (CMS) which enables you to build websites and powerful online applications.
It is a simple and powerful web server application which requires a server with PHP and either MySQL or PostgreSQL to run. You can find full technical requirements here.
Joomla! is free and Open Source software distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later.

How to get a working installation from the source

For detailed instructions please visit https://docs.joomla.org/Special:MyLanguage/J4.x:Setting_Up_Your_Local_Environment

You will need:

PHP - basically the same as you need for running a Joomla Site, but you need the cli (command line interface) Version (see https://docs.joomla.org/Special:MyLanguage/Configuring_a_LAMPP_server_for_PHP_development)
Composer - for managing Joomla's PHP Dependencies. For help installing composer please read the documentation at https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
Node.js - for compiling Joomla's Javascript and SASS files. For help installing Node.js please follow the instructions available on https://nodejs.org/en/
Git - for version management. Download from here https://git-scm.com/downloads (MacOS users can also use Brew and Linux users can use the built-in package manager, eg apt, yum, etc).

Steps to setup the local environment:

Clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:joomla/joomla-cms.git

Go to the joomla-cms folder:

cd joomla-cms

Go to the 4.0-dev branch:

git checkout 4.0-dev

Install all the needed composer packages:

composer install

Install all the needed npm packages:

npm ci

Things to be aware of when pulling: Joomla creates a cache of the namespaces of its extensions in JOOMLA_ROOT/administrator/cache/autoload_psr4.php. If extensions are created, deleted or removed in git then this file needs to be recreated. You can simply delete the file and it will be regenerated on the next call to Joomla.
