# WooCommerce Monorepo
Welcome to the WooCommerce monorepo on GitHub. Here you can find all of the plugins, packages, and tools used in the development of the core WooCommerce plugin as well as WooCommerce extensions. You can browse the source, look at open issues, contribute code, and keep track of ongoing development.
We recommend all developers follow the [WooCommerce development blog](https://developer.woocommerce.com/blog/) to stay up to date with everything happening in the project. You can also [follow @DevelopWoo](https://x.com/DevelopWoo) on X (formerly Twitter) for the latest development updates.
## Getting Started
To get up and running within the WooCommerce Monorepo, you will need to make sure that you have installed all of the prerequisites.
### Prerequisites
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/): Required to run PNPM and the monorepo's build and test scripts. You do not need to match a specific Node version by hand. PNPM reads the version pinned in [`pnpm-workspace.yaml`](pnpm-workspace.yaml) (`useNodeVersion`, mirrored in [`.nvmrc`](.nvmrc)) and automatically installs and uses it for every script it runs. A Node version manager such as [NVM](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#installing-and-updating) is optional, but still handy for installing Node itself.
- [PNPM](https://pnpm.io/installation): Our repository utilizes PNPM to manage project dependencies and run various scripts involved in building and testing projects.
- [PHP 7.4+](https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.php): WooCommerce Core currently requires PHP version 7.4 or higher. It is also needed to run Composer and various project build scripts. See [troubleshooting](DEVELOPMENT.md#troubleshooting) for troubleshooting problems installing PHP.
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md): We use Composer to manage all of the dependencies for PHP packages and plugins.
