Install

Requirements

• Stable PHP (8.2+ as of writing)
• A database: PostgreSQL 14+ / MySQL 8.0+ / SQLite 3.37+
• GD or ImageMagick

Get the Code

Two main options:

1. Via Git (allows easiest updates via git pull):
   1. git clone https://github.com/shish/shimmie2
   2. Install Composer.
      1. brew install composer on macOS
   3. Run composer install in the shimmie folder.
2. Via Stable Release: Download the latest release under Releases.

Install

1. Create an empty database (skip if using SQLite)
2. Start a PHP server at the project root directory: php -S localhost:9000
3. Open http://localhost:9000/ in a web browser
4. If prompted, enter the location of the database
5. Click "Install". Hopefully you'll end up at the welcome screen; if not, you should be given instructions on how to fix any errors~
