+Symfony Standard Edition
|
|
2
|
+========================
|
|
3
|
+
|
|
4
|
+Welcome to the Symfony Standard Edition - a fully-functional Symfony2
|
|
5
|
+application that you can use as the skeleton for your new app. If you want
|
|
6
|
+to learn more about the features included, see the "What's Inside?" section.
|
|
7
|
+
|
|
8
|
+This document contains information on how to download and start using Symfony.
|
|
9
|
+For a more detailed explanation, see the
|
|
10
|
+[Installation chapter](http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/installation.html)
|
|
11
|
+of the Symfony Documentation.
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+1) Download the Standard Edition
|
|
14
|
+--------------------------------
|
|
15
|
+
|
|
16
|
+If you've already downloaded the standard edition, and unpacked it somewhere
|
|
17
|
+within your web root directory, then move on to the "Installation" section.
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+To download the standard edition, you have two options:
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+### Download an archive file (*recommended*)
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+The easiest way to get started is to download an archive of the standard edition
|
|
24
|
+(http://symfony.com/download). Unpack it somewhere under your web server root
|
|
25
|
+directory and you're done. The web root is wherever your web server (e.g. Apache)
|
|
26
|
+looks when you access `http://localhost` in a browser.
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+### Clone the git Repository
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+We highly recommend that you download the packaged version of this distribution.
|
|
31
|
+But if you still want to use Git, you are on your own.
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+Run the following commands:
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+ git clone http://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard.git
|
|
36
|
+ cd symfony-standard
|
|
37
|
+ rm -rf .git
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+2) Installation
|
|
40
|
+---------------
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+Once you've downloaded the standard edition, installation is easy, and basically
|
|
43
|
+involves making sure your system is ready for Symfony.
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+### a) Check your System Configuration
|
|
46
|
+
|
|
47
|
+Before you begin, make sure that your local system is properly configured
|
|
48
|
+for Symfony. To do this, execute the following:
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+ php app/check.php
|
|
51
|
+
|
|
52
|
+If you get any warnings or recommendations, fix these now before moving on.
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+### b) Install the Vendor Libraries
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+If you downloaded the archive "without vendors" or installed via git, then
|
|
57
|
+you need to download all of the necessary vendor libraries. If you're not
|
|
58
|
+sure if you need to do this, check to see if you have a ``vendor/`` directory.
|
|
59
|
+If you don't, or if that directory is empty, run the following:
|
|
60
|
+
|
|
61
|
+ php bin/vendors install
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+Note that you **must** have git installed and be able to execute the `git`
|
|
64
|
+command to execute this script. If you don't have git available, either install
|
|
65
|
+it or download Symfony with the vendor libraries already included.
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+### c) Access the Application via the Browser
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+Congratulations! You're now ready to use Symfony. If you've unzipped Symfony
|
|
70
|
+in the web root of your computer, then you should be able to access the
|
|
71
|
+web version of the Symfony requirements check via:
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+ http://localhost/Symfony/web/config.php
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+If everything looks good, click the "Bypass configuration and go to the Welcome page"
|
|
76
|
+link to load up your first Symfony page.
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+You can also use a web-based configurator by clicking on the "Configure your
|
|
79
|
+Symfony Application online" link of the ``config.php`` page.
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+To see a real-live Symfony page in action, access the following page:
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+ web/app_dev.php/demo/hello/Fabien
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+3) Learn about Symfony!
|
|
86
|
+-----------------------
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+This distribution is meant to be the starting point for your application,
|
|
89
|
+but it also contains some sample code that you can learn from and play with.
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+A great way to start learning Symfony is via the [Quick Tour](http://symfony.com/doc/current/quick_tour/the_big_picture.html),
|
|
92
|
+which will take you through all the basic features of Symfony2 and the test
|
|
93
|
+pages that are available in the standard edition.
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+Once you're feeling good, you can move onto reading the official
|
|
96
|
+[Symfony2 book](http://symfony.com/doc/current/).
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+Using this Edition as the Base of your Application
|
|
99
|
+--------------------------------------------------
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+Since the standard edition is fully-configured and comes with some examples,
|
|
102
|
+you'll need to make a few changes before using it to build your application.
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+The distribution is configured with the following defaults:
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+* Twig is the only configured template engine;
|
|
107
|
+* Doctrine ORM/DBAL is configured;
|
|
108
|
+* Swiftmailer is configured;
|
|
109
|
+* Annotations for everything are enabled.
|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+A default bundle, ``AcmeDemoBundle``, shows you Symfony2 in action. After
|
|
112
|
+playing with it, you can remove it by following these steps:
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+* delete the ``src/Acme`` directory;
|
|
115
|
+* remove the routing entries referencing AcmeBundle in ``app/config/routing_dev.yml``;
|
|
116
|
+* remove the AcmeBundle from the registered bundles in ``app/AppKernel.php``;
|
|
117
|
+
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
