Processwire is a free content management system (CMS) and framework (CMF) written in PHP.

ProcessWire is distributed under the MPL 2.0 license, but also designates some files as using the MIT license.

[isabell@stardust ~]$ my_print_defaults client
--default-character-set=utf8mb4
--user=isabell
--password=MySuperSecretPassword
[isabell@stardust ~]$

Your blog URL needs to be setup:

[isabell@stardust ~]$ uberspace web domain list
isabell.uber.space
[isabell@stardust ~]$

cd to your :manual:`document root <web-documentroot>`, then download the latest release and extract it:

[isabell@stardust ~]$ cd /var/www/virtual/$USER/html/
[isabell@stardust html]$ wget https://github.com/processwire/processwire/archive/master.tar.gz
--2019-03-31 12:01:53--  https://github.com/processwire/processwire/archive/master.tar.gz
[...]
2019-03-31 12:01:57 (7.32 MB/s) - 'master.tar.gz' saved [13867981]
[isabell@stardust html]$ tar xfz master.tar.gz
[isabell@stardust html]$ rm master.tar.gz
[isabell@stardust html]$

In this guide we are using the document root rather than an subfolder.

[isabell@stardust html]$ mv processwire-master/* .
[isabell@stardust html]$ rm -r processwire-master/
[isabell@stardust html]$

Point your browser to your domain, e.g. https://isabell.uber.space. This will initiate the ProcessWire installer.

You will need to enter the following information:

• Site Installation Profile: Use "Default (Beginner Edition)" to start with some example data or use "Blank" if you already know what you are doing.
• your MySQL username and password: you should know your MySQL :manual_anchor:`credentials <database-mysql.html#login-credentials>` by now. If you don't, start reading again at the top.
• your database name: we suggest you use an :manual_anchor:`additional <database-mysql.html#additional-databases>` database. For example: isabell_processwire
• Admin User: The name, email address and password of the admin user.

If not changed during the installation open https://isabell.uber.space/processwire/ and login to the backend.

Now that the installation is complete, make you familiar with the basics of ProcessWire's structure, API and read the getting started pages.

Make your /config.php file non-writable.

Tested with ProcessWire 3.0.123, Uberspace 7.2.7.0
