Installation

There are no subtleties here. Light Portal can be installed like any other modification for SMF - through the package manager.

Requirements

• SMF 2.1.x
• Modern browser with JavaScript enabled
• Internet (the portal and many plugins load scripts and styles from CDN)
• PHP 8.2 or higher
• PHP extension intl to localize some language strings properly
• PHP extensions dom and simplexml to export/import pages and blocks
• PHP extension zip to export/import plugins
• MySQL 8.0+ / MariaDB 10.5+ / PostgreSQL 12+ / SQLite 3.35.0+ (for testing only, does not support in SMF)

Note

It is enough to download the package with the portal files from the official catalog and upload via the package manager on your forum.

Testing

You can try our Docker files or your preffered LAMP/WAMP/MAMP app.
