  Download the latest stable release of PyroCMS from the command line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
  cd \/var\/www\/pyro\ncomposer create-project pyrocms\/pyrocms .<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
  NOTE<\/strong>: You may run out of memory when installing Pyro via Composer. It may be wise to stop Nginx, PHP-FPM and MySQL servers with sudo systemctl stop nginx.service php-fpm.service mysql.service<\/code> to save on memory usage and start them again after this step<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
  Change the ownership of the \/var\/www\/pyro<\/code> directory to nginx<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
  sudo chown -R nginx:nginx \/var\/www\/pyro<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
  Run sudo vim \/etc\/php-fpm.d\/www.conf<\/code> and set the user and group to nginx<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
  sudo vim \/etc\/php-fpm.d\/www.conf\n# user = nginx\n# group = nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
  Restart the php-fpm.service<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
  sudo systemctl restart php-fpm.service<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
