Answer 1

You can install Typo3 without symlinks. Just download the .zip file and unpack it on your local computer. Than upload it to your virtual box. You also need an database for it so you need to provide access credentials (user, password and database name. After uploading the files go to yourip/typo3/install and follow the instructions. On Typo3.org there are installation instructions available.

Answer 2

Please follow the instructions from here: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/InstallationGuide/QuickInstall/GetAndUnpack/Index.html

"Note

Some servers installations do not allow a symlink on a php file, especially on shared hosting environments. Here you should copy the index.php like this:

cp typo3_src/index.php index.php"

Answer 3

符号链接的想法：

• 我们可以将TYPO3源用于多个站点
• 当我们需要将TY73版本（如v7.6.2）升级到v7.6.5时，我们需要更改符号链接，这非常容易。

因此，如果您没有SSH或服务器访问权限来创建符号链接，那么您可以在没有符号链接的情况下安装。

这里以TYPO3 v7.6.5

为例

• 从TYPO3.ORG
下载.tar.gz或.zip源代码
• 将文件夹/文件提取并上传到根文件夹＆＃34; typo3，vendor，index.php，.htaccess＆＃34;
• 按照安装步骤进行操作
• 忽略安装工具文件夹结构错误;）
