To run an installation from the repo (and not from a pre-built package) on a local server, run the following commands:

• Fork phpbb/phpbb to your GitHub account, then create a local clone of it:

  git clone https://github.com/your_github_name/phpbb.git
  

• Install phpBB's dependencies (from the root of your phpbb repo):

  cd phpBB
  php ../composer.phar install
  

Alternatively, you can read:

• Our Vagrant documentation to find out how to use Vagrant to develop and contribute to phpBB.
• Our GitHub Codespaces documentation to learn about phpBB's cloud-based development environment.

phpBB's Development Documentation contains all the information you'll need to learn about developing for phpBB's core, extensions and automated testing.

We have unit and functional tests in order to prevent regressions. You can view the bamboo continuous integration here or check our GitHub Actions below:
