Installation

Requirements

• A working DDEV installation
• macOS, Linux, or Windows with WSL2
• curl and unzip available in your shell

Install

Run the following command in your terminal:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://code.kreijveld.com/renekreijveld/ddev-joomla/raw/branch/main/installer/ddev-joomla-installer.sh)"

The installer will:

1. Create the configuration directory ~/.config/ddevjoomla/
2. Prompt you for your preferred settings:
   • Root folder where your Joomla sites will live (default: ~/Development/sites)
   • Backup folder where backups will be stored (default: ~/Development/backup)
   • Default webserver type (nginx or apache)
3. Download all scripts from GitHub and install them to /usr/local/bin/
4. Make all scripts executable
5. Add the required gosite shell function to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
6. Create an installation log at ~/.config/ddevjoomla/ddev-joomla-install.log

Note: The installer automatically creates backups of any existing configuration files and scripts before making changes.

After Installation

Restart your terminal (or run source ~/.zshrc / source ~/.bashrc) to activate the gosite shell function.

Verify the installation by running:

jddev

This will display all available scripts and their options.

Configuration

The installer creates a configuration file at ~/.config/ddevjoomla/config. You can edit this file at any time to change your defaults. See the Configuration page for details.
