Manual Installation¶
The CodeIgniter 4 framework repository holds the released versions of the framework. It is intended for developers who do not wish to use Composer.
Develop your app inside the app
folder, and the public
folder
will be your public-facing document root. Do not change anything inside the system
folder!
Note
This is the installation technique closest to that described for CodeIgniter 3.
Installation¶
Download the latest version, and extract it to become your project root.
Setting Up¶
None
Upgrading¶
Download a new copy of the framework, and then replace the system
folder.
Read the upgrade instructions, and check Breaking Changes and Enhancements.
Translations Installation¶
If you want to take advantage of the system message translations, they can be added to your project in a similar fashion.
Download the latest version of them.
Extract the downloaded zip, and copy the Language
folder contents in it
to your PROJECT_ROOT/app/Languages
folder.
This would need to be repeated to incorporate any updates to the translations.
