Friendica self host install help

!Friendica Support
Can anyone point me to a source of help for self host install of Friendica. I have tried every support email I have come across and they all bounced. I signed up on multiple Friendica instances and tried to access the Friendica forum site but no go. Any direction to a source of help would be appreciated. I have read the instructed and completed 95% of the install but I am stuck in the final stages.

Thanks

@Michael 🇺🇦 @Friendica Support @Naturelchoice and what happens that you are calling "stuck"? I had a recent install fail strangely with a "page cannot be displayed" type message, which turned out to be someone had uninstalled one of the prerequisites because "no-one" was using it yet!

I downloaded the files and uploaded to folder on server through FTP but kept getting this error message when moving to configuration

Vendor path not found. Please execute "bin/composer.phar run install:prod" on the command line in the web root.

So I started over and installed from git hub using ssh. When I went to execute the final instructions to run
bin/composer.phar install --no-dev
I got an error message proc open not installed and is required. Got that installed and run the command. It pulls the archives but then asks me for a username and password
I tried my system username and password but no luck.
That is where I am stuck.

Already had php installed used the instructions found here
friendi.ca/resources/
To install using shell to an empty directory with the following commands from that page
> git clone github.com/friendica/friendica… -b develop .
$> git clone github.com/friendica/friendica… -b develop addon
$> bin/composer.phar install --no-dev
This last command to install composer is where to proc-open error occurred.
I don’t get that error anymore but after the download it asks for a username and password to continue
That is where I am currently stuck because it didn’t accept me system username and password.
I hope that is clearer.
