Downloading Trongate
The framework is distributed through GitHub. You can download the latest release here:
https://github.com/trongate/trongate-framework
From the repository page, you can either:
- Download as ZIP — Click the green "Code" button and select "Download ZIP"
- Clone via Git — Run
git clone https://github.com/trongate/trongate-framework.git
Once downloaded, unzip the contents into your web server's document root (or a subdirectory within it).
No Package Manager Required
Trongate does not use Composer, Packagist, or any dependency manager. The entire framework lives in the engine/ directory and every included module lives under modules/. What you download is what you run — no composer install, no npm install, no vendor folder to maintain.
We're continually improving the Trongate documentation. If anything is incorrect, unclear, incomplete, or could be better, we'd genuinely appreciate your input.
