Setup

Run demo on localhost

• Unzip files on local server root folder
• Start a server with MAMP, XAMPP, WAMPP, or php -S localhost:8000 kirby/router.php on terminal
• Visit localhost:8000/panel with your browser
• Register as admin
• Explore demo and settings

Run blank theme on remote server

• Make sure your live sever meets minimum requirements
• Check existence of .env file on live server (if applicable)
• Locally delete demo content from:
  • content/*
  • media/*
  • site/cache/*
  • site/accounts/*
  • site/sessions/*
• Locally open file site/config/config.php
  • Add 'panel' => ['install' => true]
• Upload files to server (don't forget .htaccess)
• Visit www.website.com/panel
• Register as admin
  • Add site name
  • Add home page
  • Add error page
• Locally open file site/config/config.php
  • Delete line 'panel' => ['install' => true]

Recommended

• Setup languages before populating content
• Create multi-environment setup:
  • site/config/config.php (don't modify this file, use it as template)
  • site/config/config.localhost.php
  • site/config/config.example.com.php
  • site/config/config.www.example.com.php
• Config files support .env variables
  • create a .env file in your live server (where Kirby is installed)
  • use env('variableName') to call env variables from config files
