README

Composer create-project template for a ModEl Framework 4 application. Replaces the legacy zkinstall.php web installer with a CLI-driven flow.

Usage

From an empty target folder:

composer create-project model/skeleton .

The trailing . is important — it tells Composer to install in the current directory rather than create a skeleton/ subfolder. Alternatively, pass an explicit target name:

composer create-project model/skeleton my-app

The installer:

1. Asks for a license key.
2. Asks for an app name (defaults to the directory name).
3. Validates the key against the existing repository's ?act=get-modules endpoint.
4. Downloads the legacy model/Core + model/Output (and their dependencies) plus templated config files into the project root, applying [zk:*] placeholder substitution.
5. Asks for the dev environment name (defaults to local) and writes a matching .env.

The result is a working ModEl app whose index.php boots through the legacy FrontController while modern model/* Composer packages live alongside in vendor/. Add more legacy modules later by editing the install list, or add new Composer packages with composer require model/<pkg>.
