Quickstart

GitHub

uPortal source is available for checkout via GitHub at https://github.com/Jasig/uPortal. Instructions on the GitHub workflow can be found at uPortal GitHub Overview. The suggested approach to obtain the source is to fork and clone the source from GitHub into a GitHub or BitBucket account rather than downloading a tarball of the source.  Cloning the github repo allows a developer to make changes to source code and a site to manage pulling updates into their local, customized fork of the source repository that has site-specific configuration updates.

Source

Most development and production environments should be built from the uPortal source. The remainder of this manual will be helpful in learning how to configure, deploy, and develop for the uPortal platform. Pages in this installation section will provide information on basic uPortal build and deployment tasks.  Downloading the source rather than forking the github source code repository is suggested only for evaluation purposes.
