I wanted to do testing on wampp win7 Try not to fall into the classic acmlmboard trap of 'it worked for my setup, so everyone else's use case /dev environment is clearly the same'

It's not that difficult. Then there's of course also Sass stylesheets that need to be compiled, and similarily Dart Sass exists for Windows. Just because Windows isn't developer friendly and has it all at your fingertips in a package manager doesn't mean it's not possible. When it's not pre-alpha quality software, this would of course all be prepared in a distribution package for people to download and push to a server, preferrably without the need for external utils.

But yeah, providing a prepared distribution package that can just be pushed directly onto a shared hosting environment would be the easiest for most people who just want a forum somewhere and do not feel the need to work on it locally. e.g. phpBB does this, their distribution packages contains phpBB with Composer libraries preinstalled, any other source preparations, and with development-related things such as unit tests or dev tools excluded from the archive.
