Platform Version

The Pimcore Platform Version is a Composer meta-package (pimcore/platform-version) that ensures all Pimcore modules in a project use compatible versions. It does not install additional code. Instead, it defines version constraints (via Composer conflict rules) that prevent incompatible combinations of Pimcore packages.

Both the pimcore/skeleton and pimcore/demo-enterprise installation packages include pimcore/platform-version as a default dependency. No additional setup is needed for new projects.

Adding to an Existing Project

To add the platform version to an existing Pimcore project that does not yet use it:

docker compose exec php composer require pimcore/platform-version

Composer may require you to adjust versions of other Pimcore packages to satisfy the constraints defined by the platform version. Follow the instructions provided by Composer to resolve any conflicts.

Installing Additional Pimcore Modules

With the platform version in place, install additional Pimcore modules using composer require:

docker compose exec php composer require pimcore/<module-name>

Composer automatically resolves a version that is compatible with your platform version.

tip

If Composer cannot find a matching version, try adding :* as the version constraint:

docker compose exec php composer require pimcore/<module-name>:*
