Getting started with v11-alpha
Site director
There are no builds / installers currently available for v11 as it is still in alpha. However, you can run v11 for yourself by cloning the git repository for Composr. Note that the repository is over 1 GB in size. If you only want to clone the v11 branch, then use the command git clone --single-branch --branch v11 git@gitlab.com:composr-foundation/composr.git(or https://gitlab.com/composr-foundation/composr.git if using HTTPS).
After cloning the repository, git checkout v11 to ensure you are on the v11 branch.
Then, run the installer like you normally would when installing Composr CMS.
Be sure to git pull regularly so you have the latest v11 code. I also highly recommend running the installer again to wipe / create a clean v11 install about once every month. We make periodic and unannounced changes to the database structure during the alpha stage.
If you would like to make a code contribution, please read up on our v11 developer handbook located in your Composr install under docs/index.php?page=codebook
Note that because this is a git repository, your install will contain every addon and non-bundled addon for Composr. It will also run with special git runtime checks.
Remember, we do not recommend using v11 for live sites at this time. Many bugs still exist, and many things do not work yet. Furthermore, there may be security holes in v11 that have not been discovered or fixed yet.
If you have troubles installing v11, please let us know in a topic, and report specific errors / bugs on the tracker under Composr Alpha Testing.
Thank you for testing v11!

- Need support for version 10? The core development team is no-longer offering it for free (unless it's a critical bug that breaks your entire site or a serious security hole). Please consider hiring me instead if you need v10 support or a non-critical bug fix. Or, ask the community in the forums!
- Do you enjoy Composr? Please consider contributing your talent to the project or recommending Composr to others. Even small contributions make a big impact in the Composr community.
- Do you have feedback for us? You can report bugs, suggest features, or give feedback on the Free support options page.
- Do you need professional service with your Composr website? Please consider contracting me for your needs through my company, PDStig, LLC. Doing so will also help fund Composr development.
- Want to watch live streams of me developing Composr CMS? Please subscribe to me on Twitch to be notified when I stream. Composr development streams are usually spontaneous / not scheduled in advance as work priorities come first.
