AquilaCMS

A complete and multi-purpose open-source CMS

Website | Modules & Themes

Overview

AquilaCMS is an open-source CMS with a wide range of features to satisfy every potential need.

In this project, you can find an API, a default front for the admin side (the backoffice) and a default front for the customer side (the theme).

The features of all these parts (API, backoffice, theme) can be extended by modules that you can develop or find in our shop.

In addition, for the backoffice and the theme you can develop fronts in all possible technologies (React, Vue.js, Angular, Next.js, Qwik, Solid...).

Getting Started

Prerequisites

To install the latest AquilaCMS, you need:

• node.js 18.16.0+ (tested in v14.20.1+ and v16.18.1+)
• yarn 3.4.1+ package
• mongoDB 6.0.2+ (tested in v4.2.5+)manager (tested in v1.22.19 and v4.0.0-rc.35)

You must verify that you have these packages installed on your OS (especially on Linux):

g++ gcc libgcc libstdc++ linux-headers make python libtool automake autoconf nasm wkhtmltopdf vips vips-dev libjpeg-turbo libjpeg-turbo-dev

You will probably have to download:

• wkhtmltopdf: https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html (it needs to be in the PATH)
• libvips: https://github.com/libvips/libvips/releases (beware of 32 or 64 bits versions and it also needs to be in the PATH)

wkhtmltopdf and libvips are NOT necessary for the installation of AquilaCMS but are used in certain functions: wkhtmltopdf is used when generating pdf and libvips when processing cached images (resizing, changing the quality etc).
