Craft Nitro
Nitro is a speedy local development environment that’s tuned for Craft CMS, powered by Docker.
Warning Nitro has been retired. Read more in our blog post, Retiring Craft Nitro.
Building from Source
If you’d like to build Nitro directly from source to test a PR or unreleased feature, you’ll need go and make in order to build a CLI binary for your OS.
If you’re on macOS running Homebrew and the Apple developer tools that come with Xcode, it should be quick and straightforward:
- Run
brew install golang. - Check out this repository and
cd /path/to/your/checkout. - Run
make local.
Nitro’s dependencies will be downloaded automatically, and the built binary will be moved to /usr/local/bin/nitro.
Make sure that’s exactly what you see when you run which nitro:
$ which nitro
/usr/local/bin/nitro
If you installed Nitro with Homebrew, you might need to run brew unlink nitro so that the system uses the freshly-built binary instead. (To go back to using the Homebrew Nitro binary, use brew link --overwrite nitro.)
