Installation

This assumes you have OpenSSL, PHP and composer already installed. Look into requirements to configure your environment correctly.

Using Composer

From your project root run the following

composer require tina4stack/tina4php
composer exec tina4 initialize:run
composer start

This will result in a webserver running on localhost:7145 Once you click on the link your project folders will be initialized.

You can then modify your composer.json file to change the default port where your project will run. Any file changes you effect will be applied immediately and you can refresh your browser to see changes.
