A tour

From an empty folder to a running site.

1 · Create

A new project, step by step

Pick a folder and what you are building: a website, an admin panel, an API or a mix. Give the database a name and add your first admin. Studio downloads what is missing and runs the setup.

2 · Run

The site, its database and its logs

Start the PHP server and Studio’s own MariaDB, or use the one XAMPP or Laragon already runs. Open the site or the admin panel, and follow the server and app logs, with problems marked.

Privacy

Studio collects nothing.

No analytics, no crash reports, no update check. Studio goes online only to download a tool you chose (PHP, Composer, MariaDB), and when a command you run does, like composer.

Every release is built by GitHub Actions from the public source, with the SHA-256 of each file. Signing the Windows files through the SignPath Foundation program for open source projects is being set up; until then Windows SmartScreen warns before the first start.

Questions

Do I need PHP or Composer installed first?

No. When Studio can’t find them it offers to download them, and MariaDB on Windows and Linux, into its own folder, with no administrator rights. It checks each file’s SHA-256 before it uses it, and uses the PHP and Composer you have when it finds them.

I already use XAMPP or Laragon.

Keep it. Point Studio at their MariaDB or MySQL, and Studio runs only the PHP server for your project.

Does Studio change my code behind my back?

No. It changes a project only through the php flo and composer commands it shows you, and asks before anything that drops data.

macOS won’t open it the first time.

The macOS app isn’t notarized yet. Try to open it once, then go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway. The install guide also shows how to check the download with its SHA-256.

Is it free?

Yes. Studio is open source under the MIT license, and uses Qt under the LGPL v3.

Prefer the terminal? So does Studio.

Everything Studio does is a php flo or composer command you can run yourself. The docs show both.
