Evolution CMS Installer 1.0.0: First Standalone Go TUI Installer Release
The first public Evolution CMS Installer release introduced a standalone Go-based terminal installer for faster, more repeatable project setup.
Evolution CMS Installer 1.0.0 marked the first public release of the standalone installer project. This was an important tooling milestone because installation moved beyond a loose shell-script idea into a real Go-based terminal UI for setting up Evolution CMS projects.

Why the first release mattered
The installer was designed as a developer tool, not just a thin wrapper. Its goal was to make project setup more repeatable for local development, CI experiments, and teams that need a predictable path from an empty directory to a working Evolution CMS installation.
- A standalone Go binary reduced the amount of environment preparation needed before installation.
- The terminal UI made setup choices more visible than a silent script.
- The project created a dedicated place for installer fixes and installer-specific release history.
Timeline note
This release belongs in the main Evolution CMS timeline because it improves the first-run experience. A CMS can be powerful, but if the installation path is fragile, new users feel that friction before they ever see the manager.
