Grav is a **Fast**, **Simple**, and **Flexible**, file-based Web-platform.  There is **Zero** installation required.  Just extract the ZIP archive, and you are already up and running.  It follows similar principles to other flat-file CMS platforms, but has a different design philosophy than most. Grav comes with a powerful **Package Management System** to allow for simple installation and upgrading of plugins and themes, as well as simple updating of Grav itself.



The underlying architecture of Grav is designed to use well-established and _best-in-class_ technologies to ensure that Grav is simple to use and easy to extend. Some of these key technologies include:



* [Twig Templating](https://twig.symfony.com/): for powerful control of the user interface

* [Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown): for easy content creation

* [YAML](https://yaml.org): for simple configuration

* [Parsedown](https://parsedown.org/): for fast Markdown and Markdown Extra support

* [Doctrine Cache](https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/reference/caching.html): layer for performance

* [Pimple Dependency Injection Container](https://github.com/silexphp/Pimple): for extensibility and maintainability

* [Symfony Event Dispatcher](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/event_dispatcher/introduction.html): for plugin event handling

* [Symfony Console](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/console/introduction.html): for CLI interface

* [Gregwar Image Library](https://github.com/Gregwar/Image): for dynamic image manipulation



# Requirements



- PHP 7.3.6 or higher. Check the [required modules list](https://learn.getgrav.org/basics/requirements#php-requirements)

- Check the [Apache](https://learn.getgrav.org/basics/requirements#apache-requirements) or [IIS](https://learn.getgrav.org/basics/requirements#iis-requirements) requirements



# Documentation



The full documentation can be found from [learn.getgrav.org](https://learn.getgrav.org).



# QuickStart



These are the options to get Grav:



### Downloading a Grav Package



You can download a **ready-built** package from the [Downloads page on https://getgrav.org](https://getgrav.org/downloads)



### With Composer



You can create a new project with the latest **stable** Grav release with the following command:



```

$ composer create-project getgrav/grav ~/webroot/grav

```



### From GitHub



1. Clone the Grav repository from [https://github.com/getgrav/grav]() to a folder in the webroot of your server, e.g. `~/webroot/grav`. Launch a **terminal** or **console** and navigate to the webroot folder:

   ```

   $ cd ~/webroot

   $ git clone https://github.com/getgrav/grav.git

   ```



2. Install the **plugin** and **theme dependencies** by using the [Grav CLI application](https://learn.getgrav.org/advanced/grav-cli) `bin/grav`:

   ```

   $ cd ~/webroot/grav

   $ bin/grav install

   ```



Check out the [install procedures](https://learn.getgrav.org/basics/installation) for more information.



# Adding Functionality



You can download [plugins](https://getgrav.org/downloads/plugins) or [themes](https://getgrav.org/downloads/themes) manually from the appropriate tab on the [Downloads page on https://getgrav.org](https://getgrav.org/downloads), but the preferred solution is to use the [Grav Package Manager](https://learn.getgrav.org/advanced/grav-gpm) or `GPM`:



```

$ bin/gpm index

```



This will display all the available plugins and then you can install one or more with:



```

$ bin/gpm install 

```



# Updating



To update Grav you should use the [Grav Package Manager](https://learn.getgrav.org/advanced/grav-gpm) or `GPM`:



```

$ bin/gpm selfupgrade

```



To update plugins and themes:



```

$ bin/gpm update

```

# Running Tests



First install the dev dependencies by running `composer install` from the Grav root.



Then `composer test` will run the Unit Tests, which should be always executed successfully on any site.

Windows users should use the `composer test-windows` command.

You can also run a single unit test file, e.g. `composer test tests/unit/Grav/Common/AssetsTest.php`



To run phpstan tests, you should run:



* `composer phpstan` for global tests

* `composer phpstan-framework` for more strict tests

* `composer phpstan-plugins` to test all installed plugins
