Get the Source Code and Install Dependencies¶

Clone the Oro application GitHub repository:

1. Go to the directory where you plan to put the Oro application source files ([$folder_location]). For example, on a Linux server, run the following command:

   $ cd [$folder_location]
   

2. Obtain the Oro application source files using the git clone command.

   On Linux, use the following command:

   $ git clone -b <version_or_branch> <repository_URL> [$oro_installation_folder]
   

   • Replace the <version_or_branch> with the version to download. Along with the released versions (like 1.3 and 2.3), you can use the master branch to run the latest development version of the Oro application.
   • In [$oro_installation_folder] parameter, specify the directory to clone the application source files into.
   • Replace the <repository_URL> with the GitHub URL of the repository to clone, e.g., https://github.com/oroinc/crm-application.git.

   Note

   Adjust the sample commands below to your environment and installation plan:

   OroCRM:

   $ git clone -b 2.3 https://github.com/oroinc/crm-application.git orocrm
   

   OroCommerce (with CRM):

   $ git clone -b 1.3.0 https://github.com/orocommerce/orocommerce-application.git orocommerce
   

   OroPlatform:

   $ git clone -b 2.3 https://github.com/oroinc/platform-application.git oroplatform
   

Download the latest version of the application from the download section on oroinc.com/orocrm. Click the zip, tar.gz, or tar.bz2 link to download the archive.

Then extract the source files. For example, on a Linux based OS run:

$ cd [$folder_location]
$ tar -xzvf crm-application.tar.gz

The directory you extracted the files to, will be used in the following steps and will be referred to as [$oro_installation_folder] further in this topic.

Run the composer install command with --prefer-dist --no-dev parameter to update the downloaded libraries to the latest supported versions (The source code archive contains all the required libraries. They will be installed to the vendor directory):

$ cd [$oro_installation_folder]
$ composer install --prefer-dist --no-dev
