Installation

Evolution CMS 3 can be installed through the browser installer or through the standalone evo CLI installer. Both paths produce the same CMS. The difference is how repeatable and scriptable the setup is.

Browser Installer

1. place the project files on the target host
2. open the install path in the browser
3. enter database and site information
4. complete the wizard
5. remove or confirm removal of the install directory when finished

CLI Installer

The standalone installer is better when you want a repeatable project bootstrap or shell-based setup.

evo install
evo install --cli

Use interactive mode when you want prompts. Use --cli when the environment is prepared and you want a non-browser flow.

After Installation

• log into the manager
• check site URL, cache behavior, and rewrite rules
• verify uploads and manager paths
• install required extras or packages

Important Safety Step

Do not leave the installer accessible after setup or update.
