TYPO3 - Extension_Builder extension for TYPO3 8.7.9?

Question

I installed the current TYPO3 v8 LTS (8.7.9) and want to download and install the extension_builder extension on it, but it seems the latest version is for TYPO3 7.6. Is there a version of extension_builder that can be somehow manually downloaded that supports TYPO3 8.7.9? I remember there were versions beyond that specific one for TYPO3 7.6 available but needed to be manually downloaded. Where can i find those?

Answer 1

It seems that all is missing is a release to the TER. So there are currently 2 ways to get the version for 8.7

• Use composer composer require friendsoftypo3/extension-builder
• Download it from https://github.com/FriendsOfTYPO3/extension_builder/tree/8.7 and upload it as directory extension_builder to typo3conf/ext. You can't use the downloaded zip file in upload of EM.

Answer 2

TYPO3 v8 compatible version of extension_builder is now also available in the Extension Repository.

If you are in the very beginning, you can try to install typo3 by Helmut Hummels pre configured composer installation. On this installation you have to add the version in composer file.

        "name": "friendsoftypo3/extension-builder",
        "version": "dev-master",
        "source": {
            "type": "git",
            "url": "https://github.com/FriendsOfTYPO3/extension_builder.git",
            "reference": "4.........."
        },
