DDEV simplifies integrating the power and consistency of containerization into your workflows. Set up environments in minutes; switch contexts and projects quickly and easily; speed your time to deployment. DDEV handles the complexity. You get on with the valuable part of your job.

Before proceeding, make sure your DDEV installation is up to date.

In a new project folder using your favorite shell, run these lines:

                                    ddev config --project-type=typo3 --docroot=public --php-version 7.4 --webserver-type 'apache-fpm'
                                    ddev composer create --no-install "typo3/cms-base-distribution:^8.7"
                                    ddev composer install
                                                                                                                                                            ddev typo3 install:setup
                                                                                                                ddev launch /typo3/

If you are experienced with Composer you can create your own composer.json and select the needed packages of TYPO3 via the Composer Helper. Instead of the ddev composer create command above, run the command created with the Composer Helper prepended with ddev. E.g.:

                                    ddev config --project-type=typo3 --docroot=public --php-version 7.4 --webserver-type 'apache-fpm'
                                    ddev composer require "typo3/cms-core:^8.7" "typo3/minimal:^8.7" ...
                                                                                                                        ddev typo3 install:setup (if the TYPO3 Console is installed)
                                                                                                                ddev launch /typo3/
                                
composer create-project "typo3/cms-base-distribution:^8.7" my-new-project

If you are experienced with Composer you can create your own composer.json and select the needed packages of TYPO3 via the Composer Helper.
