OctoberCMS is a powerful CMS based on Laravel PHP Framework.

1. PHP >= 7.4

1. Clone to your base project directory.

   git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/octobroid/oc-boilerplate.git <project-name>
   

2. Go to the project folder and don't forget to remove .git folder. Create your own repository.

3. Put the auth.json to the root directory for your access to download the October CMS library. Don't forget to remove it from .gitignore if you already set up the project.

4. Install composer dependencies.
