Grav is a Fast, Simple, and Flexible, file-based Web-platform. There is Zero installation required. Just extract the ZIP archive, and you are already up and running. It follows similar principles to other flat-file CMS platforms, but has a different design philosophy than most. Grav comes with a powerful Package Management System to allow for simple installation and upgrading of plugins and themes, as well as simple updating of Grav itself.
The underlying architecture of Grav is designed to use well-established and best-in-class technologies to ensure that Grav is simple to use and easy to extend. Some of these key technologies include:
You have two options to get Grav:
You can download a ready-built package from the Downloads page on http://getgrav.org
Clone the Grav repository from [https://github.com/getgrav/grav]() to a folder in the webroot of your server, e.g. ~/webroot/grav
. Launch a terminal or console and navigate to the webroot folder:
$ cd ~/webroot
$ git clone https://github.com/getgrav/grav.git
Install the plugin and theme dependencies by using the Grav CLI application bin/grav
:
$ cd ~/webroot/grav
$ bin/grav install
Check out the install procedures for more information.
You can download plugins or themes manually from the appropriate tab on the Downloads page on http://getgrav.org, but the preferred solution is to use the Grav Package Manager or GPM
:
$ bin/gpm index
This will display all the available plugins and then you can install one or more with:
$ bin/gpm install <plugin/theme>
To update Grav you should use the Grav Package Manager or GPM
:
$ bin/gpm selfupgrade
To update plugins and themes:
$ bin/gpm update
