Installation

Webhaven runs locally on DDEV, a Docker-based local development environment. 

This guide walks you through getting your first Webhaven project up and running in minutes.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed before continuing:

Tool Install Guide Verify
DDEV DDEV installation guide ddev --version
Git (Option A) Git installation guide git --version

1. Get the code

After purchase, you automatically get access to the Webhaven repository.

Option A - Git clone (recommended)

Clone the Webhaven project repository:

git clone https://github.com/webhaven-io/webhaven.git webhaven-demo
cd webhaven-demo

Option B - Download ZIP

Download the latest release from your client dashboard page, unpack it, and navigate into the folder.

2. Install the project

ddev install

This script will automatically:

  • Start the DDEV environment
  • Install Composer dependencies
  • Unpack Drupal recipes
  • Configure config sync directory
  • Open your site in the browser

The first run may take a few minutes while Docker pulls images.

3. Set up your site

Once the script completes, your browser will open automatically. You'll be guided through a short setup:

  1. Enter your site name
  2. Choose an email and password
  3. Webhaven automatically installs, this takes a moment
  4. You're logged in automatically and ready to go

Your project ships with more custom commands like ddev create-theme and ddev dev-mode, see Useful DDEV commands.
