NOTE THAT THIS IS A WINDOWS BASED SETUP

I personally use a windows device, I have very limited knowledge of MacOS or Linux setup, however both should be very similar. I cannot provide help for bugs encountered on these Operating Systems outside of general google search.


Lorekeeper Setup Tutorial: http://lorekeeper-arpg.wikidot.com/wiki:tutorial:setting-up

This guide takes the approach that the reader has no or very little knowledge about xampp before beginning the guide. It may be more beneficial for more advanced users to skip towards the end of the guide, or read Draginraptor’s guide located here


This guide is also made under the assumption the user is already familiar with sourcetree and has a local copy of lorekeeper.


Install / Initial Setup

  • Xampp


The download link is located here

If you don’t already have PHP installed, Xampp comes with PHP 7.4 bundled in


If you see the following warning, just press ok, it shouldn’t impact anything lorekeeper related

When installing, you may receive multiple options on what to include

The following are required, but you can choose more if you wish

After this, complete the install as usual!

Lorekeeper Setup

Similarly to live servers, lorekeeper local requires a database and composer.

To start, we will install composer. To do this, you will need to install composer to your device

Composer can be downloaded here (Composer-Setup.exe)
