Why Use Automation?
Setting up TYPO3 manually takes time and effort. You need to download files, set up a database, and configure everything. With automation TYPO3 installation, you can install TYPO3 in minutes using a simple script.
Steps to Install TYPO3 Automatically
Step 1. Install Required Tools
Before starting, install Docker and DDEV on your system. These tools help run TYPO3 easily.
Step 2. Download the Installation Script
Download the script and place it in a folder for easy access, for example:
mkdir ~/.shellscripts/typo3/
mv install.sh remove.sh ~/.shellscripts/typo3/
Step 3. Create Shortcuts
To make installation easier, create shortcut commands:
Open terminal and edit your shell configuration file:
nano ~/.bashrc # For Bash users
nano ~/.zshrc # For Zsh users
Add these lines:
alias install-typo3="bash ~/.shellscripts/typo3/install.sh"
alias remove-typo3="bash ~/.shellscripts/typo3/remove.sh"
Save and reload the file:
source ~/.bashrc # For Bash users
source ~/.zshrc # For Zsh users
Step 4. Install TYPO3
Now, install TYPO3 with one command:
install-typo3 12 myproject
12 is the TYPO3 version
myproject is your project name
By default, it installs TYPO3 13 if no version is mentioned.
Step 5. Access TYPO3 Backend
After installation, open the TYPO3 backend:
https:// myproject.ddev.site/ typo3/
Login details:
Username: admin
Password: Password1%
Step 6. Remove TYPO3 Project (If Needed)
To delete a TYPO3 project, run:
remove-typo3
This removes all files and stops the project.
Why Use This Method?

Error-Free – Automates the entire process
Supports TYPO3 10, 11, 12, and 13
This saves time and helps developers work more efficiently.
Conclusion
Automating TYPO3 installation saves time, reduces errors, and simplifies the setup process. Instead of manually configuring everything, you can use a simple script to install TYPO3 in minutes. With Docker, DDEV, and the installation script, you can quickly set up multiple TYPO3 projects with minimal effort.
