Backdrop is a full-featured content management system that allows non-technical users to manage a wide variety of content. It can be used to create all kinds of websites including blogs, image galleries, social networks, intranets, and more.

Backdrop aims to provide:

  • A CMS that can be used out-of-the-box.
  • Code that can be learned quickly.
  • Extensible APIs.

Requirements

  • PHP 5.6.0 or higher. Even if Backdrop can run on older versions of PHP, we strongly recommend that you use a supported version of PHP.
  • MySQL 5.0.15 or higher with PDO enabled
  • Apache (recommended) or Nginx web server
  • 50 MB of disk space (recommended), 15 MB (minimum)

Installation

  1. Create a new database, username, and password for Backdrop to use in MySQL.

  2. Point your browser at the URL of your Backdrop installation. You will be redirected to the install screen. If you're not redirected, visit the install URL. If Backdrop was installed at http://example.com/backdrop, the install URL would be http://example.com/backdrop/core/install.php.

  3. Follow the instructions provided by the installer.

Bug Reports and Feature Requests

Please use the GitHub issue tracker for reporting all bugs and features. We use a separate issue tracker that is not part of the main Backdrop code repository because of GitHub's restrictions on the use of labels and issue management.

Security Issues

If you have discovered a security issue with Backdrop CMS or any of its contributed modules, please contact the Backdrop Security Team directly at [email protected]. We manage security issues separately in a private repository until the issue has been resolved. Even if you're not sure if it's a security problem, please contact the security team before filing an issue.

Developers

Backdrop is a fork of Drupal. It preserves the legacy audience of developers who value ease of use and speed of learning over architectural flexibility. You can join Backdrop's developer community by forking Backdrop on GitHub.

You can submit changes to Backdrop by creating a pull request that references an issue in the issue tracker. Details about how to do this are in the Contribute to Backdrop Core documentation.
