Friendica self host install help
!Friendica Support
Can anyone point me to a source of help for self host install of Friendica. I have tried every support email I have come across and they all bounced. I signed up on multiple Friendica instances and tried to access the Friendica forum site but no go. Any direction to a source of help would be appreciated. I have read the instructed and completed 95% of the install but I am stuck in the final stages.
Thanks

in reply to Naturelchoice • •I downloaded the files and uploaded to folder on server through FTP but kept getting this error message when moving to configuration
Vendor path not found. Please execute "bin/composer.phar run install:prod" on the command line in the web root.
So I started over and installed from git hub using ssh. When I went to execute the final instructions to run
bin/composer.phar install --no-dev
I got an error message proc open not installed and is required. Got that installed and run the command. It pulls the archives but then asks me for a username and password
I tried my system username and password but no luck.
That is where I am stuck.

in reply to Naturelchoice • • •Is "proc open not installed" an exact copy of the error message? It's not familiar to me.
The "Vendor path not found" message already has me worried. What is the base operating system / distribution there? Was PHP installed as part of it?

To install using shell to an empty directory with the following commands from that page
> git clone github.com/friendica/friendica… -b develop .
$> git clone github.com/friendica/friendica… -b develop addon
$> bin/composer.phar install --no-dev
This last command to install composer is where to proc-open error occurred.
I don’t get that error anymore but after the download it asks for a username and password to continue
That is where I am currently stuck because it didn’t accept me system username and password.
I hope that is clearer.

in reply to Naturelchoice • • •@Naturelchoice .. I believe, you must enter something into the file
config/local.config.phpinto the 'config' section like so:'admin_email' => 'yourmail@provider.tld'so that you will be the admin..see here: github.com/friendica/friendica…

I found the cause but I don’t have a solution. The server that is supposed to call the final part of the install git.friendica.ca is off line. This has happened before apparently several times
github.com/friendica/friendica…
Is there a work around or am I just stuck?
