The framework source code can be found here:cakephp/cakephp.

2. Runphp composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app [app_name].

If Composer is installed globally, run

composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app

In case you want to use a custom app dir name (e.g./myapp/):

You can now either use your machine's webserver to view the default home page, or startup the built-in webserver with:

bin/cake server -p 8765

Then visithttp://localhost:8765 to see the welcome page.

Check out the5.x-demo branch, which contains demo migrations and a seeder.See theREADME on how to get it running.

Since this skeleton is a starting point for your application and various fileswould have been modified as per your needs, there isn't a way to provideautomated upgrades, so you have to do any updates manually.

Read and edit the environment specificconfig/app_local.php and set up the'Datasources' and any other configuration relevant for your application.Other environment agnostic settings can be changed inconfig/app.php.

The app skeleton usesMilligram (v1.3) minimalist CSSframework by default. You can, however, replace it with any other library orcustom styles.
