VoxelSite

Install VoxelSite on your PHP host.

Get the files from the repository. Dependencies and compiled Studio assets come with the files, so your server needs no Composer or Node.js build.

Download VoxelSite Installation guide
Clone the sourceAGPL-3.0

Start with the source.

git clone https://github.com/NowSquare/VoxelSite.git

Point the web root at the project, then open /_studio/ to run the installer.

Check the host first.

The installer checks server requirements. Confirm them before you move a client site.

PHP 8.2+ and SQLite

Enable the required extensions and writable directories. SQLite stores Studio data without a separate database server.

Full requirements

Web server rules

Apache and LiteSpeed use the supplied .htaccess. Nginx needs routing and access rules, including protection for private files.

Nginx configuration

Choose how to build

Connect an external coding agent, configure built-in Studio AI, or edit manually. Only built-in AI needs a model provider key in VoxelSite; its API usage is billed separately.

Understand the costs

From download to a reviewed site.

  1. Put the files on your host

    Clone the repository or upload the extracted fresh-install ZIP. Set the web root and HTTPS for the installation.

  2. Open /_studio/

    Follow the setup wizard. Check requirements, create your account and name the site. Choose external AI, built-in AI or manual editing.

  3. Build, review and publish

    Give your agent or Studio AI the brief, or create the pages manually. Check the private preview, test forms and links, then publish the reviewed version.

Agent API prompt execution is in beta and also requires exec(), which some hosts disable. Read the API requirements if you plan to use it.

Keep the installation current

Git installations can update from Settings. Existing ZIP installations need the upgrade archive, not the fresh-install archive. Back up the entire site and Studio data before updating. Older ZIP updaters do not provide an atomic rollback.

Inspect the demo first

The read-only demo shows the editors and settings. Use your own installation to test a client brief and the connection or provider account you plan to use.
