2b. Clone the friendica/friendica GitHub repository and import dependencies
- git clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica [web server folder]
+ git clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica -b master [web server folder]
cd [web server folder]
php bin/composer.phar install
Clone the addon repository (separately):
- git clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica-addons.git addon
+ git clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica-addons.git -b master addon
If you copy the directory tree to your webserver, make sure that you also
copy .htaccess - as "dot" files are often hidden and aren't normally copied.
+If you want to use the development version of Friendica you can switch to
+the devel branch in the repository by running
+
+ git checkout develop
+ bin/composer.phar install
+ cd addon
+ git checkout develop
+
+please be aware that the develop branch may break your Friendica node at any
+time. If you encounter a bug, please let us know.
