Most important resources for new projects

Install OpenMage

1. Configure your web server (virtual host or subfolder of a domain)
2. Create the folder where you want to install OpenMage, enter it and execute
   composer require "openmage/magento-lts":"^20"
   it will automatically download the latest v20 release then ask for the OpenMage root directory, my suggestion is to use . (the current directory)
