Build Vanilla Forums

Vanilla Forums has pre-built frontend assets (js, css and addons assets).

The full source code of Vanilla Forums is available as a Git repository:

https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/tree/Vanilla_3.3.

Requirements

  • Node.js “>=8.0.0 <12.0.0”
  • PHP 7.2 - 7.4 (as of Vanilla 3.3)
  • Yarn
  • Composer

Installing yarn

Install yarn:

npm install -g yarn

Installing composer

Install composer:

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"

php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '756890a4488ce9024fc62c56153228907f1545c228516cbf63f885e036d37e9a59d27d63f46af1d4d07ee0f76181c7d3') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"

php composer-setup.php

php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

Building Frontend assets

1.Clone or download a repo. Go to the root folder: cd Vanilla_3.3

2.The 'forum' repo overrides Vanilla files. Copy 'forums/vanilla' to Vanilla_3.3.

3.Run the command to install dependencies and build: composer install or php composer.phar install

You should see output

./images/build.png

4.Copy all files from the 'dist' folder to 'forums/vanilla/dist' (the 'forums' repo).

Notes: The first time you run this, it may take a while. Subsequent runs should be faster, but if you are constantly updating the javascript or CSS or addons or themes, it's recommended to use the developer build.

yarn build:dev
