- Installing
Install composer:
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Then, use the create-project command to generate a new Symfony application:
php composer.phar create-project henningm/symfony-minimal path/to/install
Composer will install Symfony and all its dependencies under the
path/to/install directory.
- Checking your System Configuration
Before starting coding, make sure that your local system is properly configured for Symfony.
Execute the check.php script from the command line:
php app/check.php
The script returns a status code of 0 if all mandatory requirements are met,
1 otherwise.
Access the config.php script from a browser:
http://localhost/path/to/symfony/app/web/config.php
If you get any warnings or recommendations, fix them before moving on.
