Copying root files into local machine

[rohitgehe05]

Hey @andreaskoch -

Firstly thanks for your brilliant contribution! I would like to know if there is a way to copy the root installed files, i.e. The Magento source code into my local machine and use that as a mount point?

So I would be able to modify the install as well as try out new extensions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

Don't know if you figure this out but I was asking myself the same question. After loading up the project I was seeing a 403 forbidden page. I realized that there was no core files at all when the project was started up. I added an index.html file in the web/ folder and then I saw my hello world page. I guess you're suppose to install the magento core files into the web folder yourself.

I maybe be wrong as hell but that's my conclusion after toying around for a hour or so.

Disregard my last message. It seems the installer is failing. The core files are never being installed.

This is fine since my plans was to install an already live M1 website into my local environment to update the code. Hopefully I fine no other issues because this repo seems like a really cool project.
