Requirements

• These are generally based on "whatever is in Debian Stable", because that's conservative without being TOO painfully out of date, and is a nice target for the unit test Docker build.
• A database: PostgreSQL 11+ / MariaDB 10.3+ / SQLite 3.27+
• Stable PHP (7.3+ as of writing)
• GD or ImageMagick

Get the Code

Two main options:

1. Via Git (allows easiest updates via git pull): git clone https://github.com/shish/shimmie2
2. Via Stable Release: Download the latest release under Releases.

Install

1. Install Composer. (If you don't already have it)
2. Run composer install in the shimmie folder.
3. Create a blank database
4. Visit the install folder with a web browser
5. Enter the location of the database
6. Click "install". Hopefully you'll end up at the welcome screen; if not, you should be given instructions on how to fix any errors~
