If you want to install on your own web space, we recommend Reclaim Hosting, which includes one-click Known installation. Known is also known to work on DreamHost, a high-quality web hosting provider.
Known is under active development and requires PHP 7.3+ with selected extensions, together with a supported database backend. You can find detailed installation instructions here: http://docs.withknown.com/en/latest/install/index.html
Unofficial install packages, which are periodically built from the latest code, are available: https://www.marcus-povey.co.uk/known/
You can opt to check out the work-in-progress development code from the git repository: https://github.com/idno/known
- Check out the repo:
git clone https://github.com/idno/known.git - Fetch dependencies:
cd known; composer install
You can install Known directly from composer using: composer create-project idno/known
