Installing Symfony

Posted under » Symfony on 2 Aug 2020

First, install symfony cli.

wget https://get.symfony.com/cli/installer -O - | bash

I recommend that you make everybody use the "symfony" command, as root

mv /home/anoneh/.symfony/bin/symfony /usr/local/bin/symfony

Once successfully installed test the symfony command

symfony check:requirements

If you are building a traditional web application:

symfony new --full my_project

If you are building a microservice, console application or API:

symfony new my_project

You can learn a lot if you create a demo site.

symfony new my_project_name --demo

I recommend you create an LTS version site.

symfony new --full --version=lts my_project

If you have composer installed, then you are good to go.

Your apache config directory should be the 'public' folder.
