Switch to lenkrad

On Dec 9th 2018 version 3 of the neoanPHP framework was brought to life under the name "neoan3".

With Lenkrad, everything we learned from this project found a new, modern approach to the neverending quest for a high-performance, yet easy-to-use all-purpose framework.

Support has ended on Dec 20th 2025, these pages are no longer maintained.

Prerequisites

TIP: Worry-free options
The neoan3 GitHub organization offers docker and vagrant setups to enable a "zero-configuration" start.

Before you start

neoan3 uses common web technologies in order to facilitate a reliable yet simple setup. We encourage local development ( and mention that in 2026 as neoan3's structure enables you to directly work on live systems ).

neoan3 is designed for Apache & Nginx but setup is easiest on Apache.
