AsteriosPHP scaffold

composer create-project asterios/app

🚀 Getting Started

composer create-project asterios/app my-asterios-app
cd my-asterios-app
php -S localhost:8000

👉 That's it.
All frontend assets (Tailwind CSS) are automatically installed and built during composer install.

⚙️ Environment Configuration

On first install, Asterios automatically creates a .env file.

.env
.env.example

• .env.example → template committed to the repository
• .env → your local configuration (generated automatically)

👉 The .env file is created during:

php asterios install

You can safely modify your .env file for:

• database credentials
• app environment
• custom configuration
