1. 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.

1. 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.
