Silverstripe with sqlite3 dev environment on Fedora (PHP 5.4+)

go.sh

# Fedora-specific PHP environment setup
yum install php php-mbstring php-mysql php-gd

# Manually install composer via https://getcomposer.org/download/

# Install Silverstripe & sqlite driver
composer create-project silverstripe/installer ./ 3.1.10
composer require silverstripe/sqlite3 1.3.*@dev

# Launch the dev PHP server
php -S localhost:8000 ./framework/main.php

# Install SS via http://localhost:8000/
# Login via http://localhost:8000/admin

Nice one, would you be keen to add this to our installation documentation as a "how to"?

For sure, setting up a LAMP stack is one of the biggest barriers for me getting started with SilverStripe.

As a side note, is there a way with Composer to install Silverstripe "latest stable" without explicitly setting the version number?

yes, you should just be able to run

composer create-project silverstripe/installer /path/to/install/

I'm interested in what

(preg_match('/\./', \$_SERVER[\"REQUEST_URI\"]))

does? I've tried with just starting the server and pointing to ./framework/main.php which seems to work ok.

Perfect, yes that's doing the same thing better.
