Get started

1. Set up your development environment

Install locally

Manage your MediaWiki development environment locally using PHP and Composer.

Install with Docker

Use the MediaWiki CLI tool to set up a containerized development environment with MediaWiki, Nginx, and MySQL.

2. Take a tour of the MediaWiki codebase

Familiarize yourself with MediaWiki's core code by learning about entry points and top-level directories.

3. Run unit tests

MediaWiki uses the PHPUnit framework for unit and integration testing of PHP code. See Manual:PHP unit testing to run tests and find information about writing tests.
