Install

composer create-project alexantr/emails

or

git clone [e-mail]:alexantr/emails.git

Add config.php to the project's root folder:

<?php
return [
    'mbox_file' => '/var/mail/www-data',
    'per_page' => 10,
    'site_title' => 'Emails on ' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'],
];

Set up a new virtual host, specifying the project's "public" folder as the document root.
