TYPO3 LCMS

About

The TYPO3 LCMS is a customer centric and future-proof Learning Content Management System to create, curate, manage and deploy digital learning content using xAPI/cmi5. It is build on top of TYPO3 and a collection of TYPO3 extensions to enable the seamless integration of the H5P ecosystem and the xAPI/cmi5 features.

Installation

The best way to get started with the LCMS is to install TYPO3 using DDEV, Docker and Composer on your local machine (also refer to TYPO3 - Getting Started Tutorial).

Pre-Installation Checklist

1. Install Docker - Visit docker.com to download and install the recommended version of Docker for your operating system.
2. Install DDEV - Follow the DDEV installation guide to install DDEV.

DDEV and Docker need to be installed on your local machine before TYPO3 can be installed. If you need help installing DDEV, support can be found on the DDEV Discord server.

Create the Installation Directory

Create an empty directory to install TYPO3 in and then change into that directory:

mkdir t3lcms
cd t3lcms

Create a new DDEV Project

The ddev config command will prompt for information about your project. TYPO3 is in the list of preconfigured projects.

ddev config --php-version 8.1 --docroot public --project-type typo3

Docroot Location

Is the folder containing files that have to be reached by the webserver. It contains the vital entry point index.php. The folder is commonly called public.

Project Type

Should always be "typo3"

Start the project

ddev start

The webserver is now running but TYPO3 is not yet installed.

Install TYPO3

ddev composer create "typo3/cms-base-distribution:^12"

Run the Installation Setup Tool

Interactive / guided setup (questions/answers):
