🏗️ Setting up a development build of phpBB

To run an installation from the repo (and not from a pre-built package) on a local server, run the following commands:

Fork phpbb/phpbb to your GitHub account, then create a local clone of it:
```
git clone https://github.com/your_github_name/phpbb.git
```
Install phpBB's dependencies (from the root of your phpbb repo):
```
cd phpBB
php ../composer.phar install
```

Alternatively, you can read:

Our Vagrant documentation to find out how to use Vagrant to develop and contribute to phpBB.
Our GitHub Codespaces documentation to learn about phpBB's cloud-based development environment.
