If you want to help out developing HotaruCMS or you just want to have a nice PHP development environment I would like to recommend a tried and tested development environment (my own) on Windows. I have to warn you tough, this is a highly technical article with many perquisites and references, if you don't seem to get it,... don't try too much. I am being this hard because developing HotaruCMS is 3 times more technical than just setting up the development environment.
