Requirements

Armonic runs inside a Symfony application. Before installing it, check that your environment has the following.

Application requirements

PHP extensions

The CMS and media packages require libxml, zip, and gd. You also need the PHP driver for your database, pdo_mysql for MySQL or pdo_pgsql for PostgreSQL.

The standalone project also declares ctype, iconv, intl, and mysqli in its Composer requirements. Its mysqli requirement still applies when using PostgreSQL; it does not replace pdo_pgsql. Composer checks the PHP version and extensions required by your selected packages during installation.

Local development tools

• Symfony CLI is used in the guides to create projects and run the local web server.
• Docker is used in the guides to run MySQL or PostgreSQL. You can use a database installed on your machine instead.
• Node.js and npm or Yarn are needed if your project builds frontend assets. The standalone project uses Webpack Encore.

See Configure MySQL or PostgreSQL for local services, connection URLs, and Doctrine settings.

Start installing

Choose the guide that matches your project:

• Create a new Symfony project.
