Installation

Download Symfony to install the symfony binary on your computer and run this command:

$ symfony new --demo my_project

Alternatively, you can use Composer:

$ composer create-project symfony/symfony-demo my_project

Usage

There's no need to configure anything to run the application. If you have installed Symfony, run this command and access the application in your browser at the given URL (https://localhost:8000 by default):

$ cd my_project/

If you don't have the Symfony binary installed, run php -S localhost:8000 -t public/ to use the built-in PHP web server or configure a web server like Nginx or Apache to run the application.

$ cd my_project/
