alha 6 "Environment Setup Incomplete"

[klipper]

Today I tryed to install the Joomla 4 alpha6 release on localhost (php 7.2.2).
I do not get the normal Joomla install interface (I got correct one with alpha5), but the message:
"Environment Setup Incomplete". There's a link to a page on docs.joomla.org how to set up this environment.
But I do not want to set up such an environment. I want to test as a normal Joomla user...

Is this something new that alpha versions starting with alpha 6 only can be installed and tested in such an environment?
If yes I think this is very bad and annoying.

Or is there something wrong with this alpha 6 version released yesterday?
If yes, can someone point me to a normal installable version of Joola 4 alpha 6?

That message, "it looks like you are trying to run Joomla! from our git repository. To do so requires you complete a couple of extra steps first" and the More Details link https://docs.joomla.org/J4.x:Setting_Up ... nvironment is intended for developers. You are right, normal Joomla users should not have to know about Composer, npm or SASS.

Or is there something wrong with this alpha 6 version released yesterday?
If yes, can someone point me to a normal installable version of Joola 4 alpha 6?

I am sure this issue will be rectified in the future. In fact, if you download the Alpha 7 Development version from the Nightly Builds, its installation process has only the normal checks and recommendations you are used to in 3.x: https://developer.joomla.org/nightly-bu ... #joomla-40

Hi Toivo,

Thanks for your answer!
I tried Joomla_4.0.0-alpha7-dev-Development-Full_Package.zip now and got the right install interface and finished the installprocess as expected.

I hope the development-team will fix this weird issue in the future.
