Summary: Kirby Kart plugin for Kirby CMS 5+, easily install via Composer, ZIP or Git submodule. Use custom folder setup for secure sites and smooth updates.

## Requirements

The Kirby Kart plugin has the [same requirements as the Kirby CMS](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/quickstart#requirements) and is compatible with Kirby CMS version 5+. Make sure your website is [secure](https://kart.bnomei.com/docs/data/security).

I recommend using a [custom folder setup](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/configuration/custom-folder-setup) with a dedicated `/public` folder for the webroot. The [official Kirby ComposerKit](https://github.com/getkirby/composerkit) is an excellent starting point.

## Installation with Composer

For easier updates in the future installing the Kart plugin with Composer is recommended.

Code (bash):  
```
composer require bnomei/kirby-kart
```

  
## Installation from ZIP

unzip [master.zip](https://github.com/bnomei/kirby-kart/archive/master.zip) as folder `site/plugins/kirby-kart`

## Installation via GIT Submodule

Code (bash):  
```
git submodule add https://github.com/bnomei/kirby-kart.git site/plugins/kirby-kart
```
