Installation

NOTE: For simplified installation, consider using community supported eZ Launchpad which takes care of the whole server setup for you.

Installation instructions below are for installing a demo installation of eZ Platform Enterprise Edition in latest version with demo content and demo website. Full installation documentation is kept current in the online docs, and includes instructions on installing other distributions (like ezplatform "clean" and ezplatform-ee enterprise edition), or other versions.

Prerequisites

These instructions assume you have already installed:

PHP (7.1 or higher)
Web Server (Recommended: Apache / Nginx. Use of php's built in development server is also possible)
Database server (MySQL 5.5+ or MariaDB 10.0+)
Composer
Git (for development)

For further information on requirements see online doc.

Install eZ Platform (demo enterprise distribution)

Assuming you have prerequisites sorted out, you can get the install up and running with the following commands in your terminal:

composer create-project --keep-vcs ezsystems/ezplatform-ee-demo ezplatform ^2
cd ezplatform

Note: If composer is installed localy instead of globally, the first command will start with php composer.phar.

During the installation process you will be asked to input things like database host name, login, password, etc. They will be placed in <ezplatform>/app/config/parameters.yml.

Next you will receive instructions on how to install data into the database, and how to run a simplified dev server using the bin/console server:run command. Tip: For a more complete and better performing setup using Apache or Nginx, read up on how to install eZ Platform manually.

Backwards compatibility

eZ Platform aims to be 100% content compatible with eZ Publish 5.x, 4.x and 3.x (introduced in 2002), meaning that content in those versions of the CMS can be upgraded using online documentation to eZ Platform.

Unlike eZ Publish Platform 5.x, eZ Platform does not ship with eZ Publish Legacy (4.x). But this is available by optional installing LegacyBridge to allow eZ Platform and eZ Publish Legacy to run together, this is only recommended for migration use cases and not for new installations.
