## Installation

If you want to run an instance of OpenProject in production (or for evaluation), refer to our
in-depth [installation guides](https://openproject.org/download/).

If you're a developer wanting to set-up a local environment for contributing to OpenProject or
developing plugins, you should refer instead to our [Quick Start for Developers](doc/QUICK_START.md).

Our [developer documentation](doc/README.md) also includes a [reference of configuration options](doc/CONFIGURATION.md).

## Community

OpenProject is driven by an active group of open source enthusiasts: software engineers, project managers, creatives, and consultants. OpenProject is supported by companies as well as individuals. We share the vision to build great open source project collaboration software.
The [OpenProject Foundation (OPF)](https://community.openproject.org/projects/openproject/wiki/OpenProject_Foundation) will give official guidance to the project and the community and oversees contributions and decisions.

## Repository

This repository contains several main branches:

* `dev`: The main development branch. We try to keep it stable in the sense of all tests are passing, but we don't recommend it for production systems.
* `stable/<version>`: Contains the latest stable release for a specific version. We recommend to use this for production use. Example: `stable/4.1`.
