The minimum requirement by this project template that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0.

INSTALLATION
------------

[](#installation)

### Install via Composer

[](#install-via-composer)

If you do not have [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), you may install it by following the instructions at [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-nix).

You can then install this project template using the following command:

```
composer create-project aka03/yii2-rest

```

Now you should be able to access the application through the following URL, assuming `basic` is the directory directly under the Web root.

```
http://localhost/basic/web/

```

### Install from an Archive File

[](#install-from-an-archive-file)

Extract the archive file downloaded from [yiiframework.com](http://www.yiiframework.com/download/) to a directory named `basic` that is directly under the Web root.

Set cookie validation key in `config/web.php` file to some random secret string:

```
'request' => [
    // !!! insert a secret key in the following (if it is empty) - this is required by cookie validation
    'cookieValidationKey' => '',
],
```

You can then access the application through the following URL:

```
http://localhost/basic/web/

```

CONFIGURATION
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Database

[](#database)

Edit the file `config/db.php` with real data, for example:

```
return [
    'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
    'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2rest',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '1234',
    'charset' => 'utf8',
];
```

Use migrations

```
yii migrate

```

**NOTES:**

- Yii won't create the database for you, this has to be done manually before you can access it.
- Check and edit the other files in the `config/` directory to customize your application as required.
- Refer to the README in the `tests` directory for information specific to basic application tests.
