## Notes

Neos is a content management system and application framework built on the Flow framework. Editors work in an inline editor on the page itself, and one installation can serve several languages and several sites. The project lists role management among its features.

The [installation guide](https://docs.neos.io/guide/installation-development-setup) describes Docker, DDEV and manual development setups. Production runs behind Apache or Nginx.

## Worth knowing

Neos precompiles classes with PHP, so the PHP command-line version has to match the web server's PHP version. Without that match it does not work.
