README 

        
Backdrop is a full-featured content management system that allows non-technical

users to manage a wide variety of content. It can be used to create all kinds of

websites including blogs, image galleries, social networks, intranets, and more.



Backdrop aims to provide:

- A CMS that can be used out-of-the-box.

- Code that can be learned quickly.

- Extensible APIs.



Requirements

------------

- PHP 5.6.0 or higher. Even if Backdrop can run on older versions of PHP, we

  strongly recommend that you use a

  [supported version of PHP](https://secure.php.net/supported-versions.php).

- MySQL 5.0.15 or higher with PDO enabled

- Apache (recommended) or Nginx web server

- 50 MB of disk space (recommended), 15 MB (minimum)



Installation

------------



1. Create a new database, username, and password for Backdrop to use in MySQL.



2. Point your browser at the URL of your Backdrop installation. You will be

   redirected to the install screen. If you're not redirected, visit the install

   URL. If Backdrop was installed at http://example.com/backdrop, the install

   URL would be http://example.com/backdrop/core/install.php.



3. Follow the instructions provided by the installer.



Bug Reports and Feature Requests

--------------------------------

Please use the GitHub

[issue tracker](https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues) for

reporting all bugs and features. We use a separate issue tracker that is not

part of the main Backdrop code repository because of GitHub's restrictions on

the use of labels and issue management.



Security Issues

---------------

If you have discovered a security issue with Backdrop CMS or any of its

[contributed modules](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/), please contact the

Backdrop Security Team directly at

[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

We manage security issues separately in a private repository until the issue has

been resolved. Even if you're not sure if it's a security problem, please

contact the security team before filing an issue.



Developers

----------

Backdrop is a fork of Drupal. It preserves the legacy audience of developers who

value ease of use and speed of learning over architectural flexibility. You can

join Backdrop's developer community by

[forking Backdrop](https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop) on GitHub.



You can submit changes to Backdrop by creating a pull request that references an

issue in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues).

[Contribute to Backdrop Core](https://docs.backdropcms.org/documentation/contribute-to-backdrop-core)
