Installing CakePHP 3 manually, without composer

I want to install CakePHP 3 in an old-fashioned upload-unzip-run way.

The archive I’ve downloaded from CakePHP/CakePHP/tags does not contain the default folders like webroot, Model, etc., which means it’s not complete.

The official documentation does not cover this. Here’s a relevant Github issue I found, but the person ends up still using Composer.

There’s also CakePHP/app and it seems to include those missing files, but it’s not mentioned in CakePHP/CakePHP’s composer.json, and even if I download it I’ve no idea how to merge the packages.

Please help!

    You can install CakePhp 3 without Composer.

    You need minimum requirements to install CakePHP 3 and CakePhp 3 boilerplate ( fresh copy of Cakephp 3 ).

    You can download CakePhp 3 boilerplate from GitHub.

    Requirements

    Server

    HTTP Server. For example Apache. Having mod_rewrite is preferred, but by no means required.
    PHP 5.4.16 or greater.
    mbstring extension
    intl extension
    Database :

    MySQL (5.1.10 or greater)
    PostgreSQL
    Microsoft SQL Server (2008 or higher)
    SQLite 3
    All built-in drivers require PDO. You should make sure you have the correct PDO extensions installed.
