Prepare / Install local TYPO3 project
=====================================

Setting up your local TYPO3 project requires a few simple steps.
This chapter will guide you through preparing your development environment,
installing TYPO3, and getting ready to build your first website.

The rest of the Getting Started guide assumes that TYPO3 has been installed locally
using DDEV and Composer, as described here.

If you prefer a to use a different installation method (for example, manual
installation on a server), see the full
`TYPO3 installation guide <https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:installation-index>`_.
