Install with DDEV

Webhaven runs locally on DDEV, a Docker-based local development environment. 

This guide walks you through getting your first Webhaven project up and running in minutes.

Not using DDEV? See Install without DDEV.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed before continuing:

Tool Install Guide Verify
DDEV DDEV installation guide ddev --version
Git (Option A) Git installation guide git --version

1. Get the code

After purchase, you automatically get access to the Webhaven repository.

Option A - Git clone (recommended)

Clone the Webhaven project repository:

git clone https://github.com/webhaven-io/webhaven.git webhaven-demo
cd webhaven-demo

Option B - Download ZIP

Download the latest release from your client dashboard page, unpack it, and navigate into the folder.

2. Run the installer

ddev install

This starts DDEV, installs the Composer dependencies and opens the installer in your browser. The first run may take a few minutes while Docker pulls images.

3. Set up your site

Once the script completes, your browser will open automatically. You'll be guided through a short setup:

  1. Enter your site name
  2. Choose an email and password
  3. Webhaven automatically installs, this takes a moment
  4. You're logged in automatically and ready to go

Next

Create your own theme, switch on dev mode and update translations. See Webhaven commands.
