Installation
Clone core, add your application and run two commands to have a working site.
# 1. Clone core
git clone git@github.com:Nimbly-Web-Systems/nimbly-core.git my-project
cd my-project
# 2. Clone your application into ext/ (or let setup create an empty ext/)
git clone git@github.com:your-org/your-app.git ext
# 3. Install dependencies, create local config/data/admin user, and build assets
./nimbly init
After this, the project is fully operational. Core and ext evolve independently.
Start the local site with ./nimbly up and open http://localhost; the admin
is at http://localhost/nb-admin/. A site without pages of its own opens on
the starter home page that system:setup wrote to ext/uri/.
./nimbly uses npm internally for frontend dependencies and assets. It uses host PHP when PHP 8+ is available. If PHP is not available, it automatically runs PHP-backed commands through the Nimbly Docker Compose service. To force Docker explicitly:
./nimbly --docker init
