composer create-project typo3/cms-base-distribution:"^9" YourNewProjectFolder

Note

To install TYPO3 via the composer command on windows, it should be started as admin or explicitly given the right to create symlinks (use for example a powershell or git bash started with admin rights).

After composer create project ... executed, you should have the following folder structure:

.
├── .gitignore
├── composer.json
├── composer.lock
├── LICENSE
├── public
├── README.md
├── var
└── vendor

Point the document root of your web server to the public folder.

If you do not want to use Composer, follow the package installation guide.
