What's the preferred way of installing Mautic 6 now, without having NPM in place?

Hi,

is it possible to install Mautic 6 now without NPM / Node or similar in place?

And if not, I’d have to wait for the docker that might be released in a few weeks?

To workaround the missing npm/node on my webhosting i’m using the mautic image that provides me the PHP/node deps to run “composer update --with-dependencies” and then I use rsync to move files to my webhosting.

I use Fedora. Probably should work with docker (s/podman/docker/) too.

# build the "mautic builder image"
# Dockerfile/Containerfile https://gist.github.com/vinzent/747f6fde8b778863f7da6e22e55a130d
cd $dirThatContainsContainerfile
podman build -t mautic-builder .

# run the image with local mautic dir mounted
cd $localMauticDirThatContainsComposerJson
podman run --rm -ti --entrypoint /bin/bash --security-opt label=disable \
  --mount type=bind,source=$(pwd),destination=/mautic \
  --workdir=/mautic  mautic-builder

php bin/console cache:clear
composer update --with-dependencies

Sync:

rsync \
  -ruv \
  --links \
  --checksum \
  --perms \
  --exclude /config/ \
  --exclude /.git/ --exclude /var/   --exclude /docroot/translations/  \
  --exclude /docroot/media/images/ \
  --exclude /docroot/media/libraries/ckeditor/translations/  \
  ./  $webHostingServer@$pathToMautic \
  --delete --dry-run

Then commands from step 7 on the webhosting: How to update Mautic — Mautic Documentation 0.1 documentation (I need to add “–no-warmup” to “cache:clear”).
