This document contains information on how to download, install, and start using Symfony. For a more detailed explanation, see the [Installation](http://symfony.com/doc/2.7/book/installation.html)chapter of the Symfony Documentation. 1. Installing the REST Edition --- When it comes to installing the Symfony REST Edition, you have the following options. ### Use Composer (*recommended*) [](#use-composer-recommended) As Symfony uses [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) to manage its dependencies, the recommended way to create a new project is to use it. If you don't have Composer yet, download it following the instructions on or just run the following command: ``` curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php ``` Then, use the `create-project` command to generate a new Symfony application: ``` php composer.phar create-project gimler/symfony-rest-edition --stability=dev path/to/install ``` Composer will install Symfony and all its dependencies under the `path/to/install` directory. ### Download an Archive File [](#download-an-archive-file) To quickly test Symfony, you can also download an [archive](https://github.com/gimler/symfony-rest-edition/archive/master.zip) of the Standard Edition and unpack it somewhere under your web server root directory. If you downloaded an archive "without vendors", you also need to install all the necessary dependencies. Download composer (see above) and run the following command: ``` php composer.phar install ``` 2. 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 ``` 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. 3. Browsing the Demo Application --- Congratulations! You're now ready to use Symfony. From the `config.php` page, click the "Bypass configuration and go to the Welcome page" link to load up your first Symfony page. You can also use a web-based configurator by clicking on the "Configure your Symfony Application online" link of the `config.php` page. To see a real-live Symfony page in action, access the following page: ``` web/app_dev.php/notes ``` Using the console after installing httpie.org or some other http client you can run some commands to test the API as well: ``` http "http://symfony-rest-edition.lo/app_dev.php/notes" --json -a restapi:secretpw http POST "http://symfony-rest-edition.lo/app_dev.php/notes" --json -a restapi:secretpw < note.json http "http://symfony-rest-edition.lo/app_dev.php/notes/0" --json -a restapi:secretpw http "http://symfony-rest-edition.lo/app_dev.php/notes/0" "Accept:application/json;version=1.0" -a restapi:secretpw http DELETE "http://symfony-rest-edition.lo/app_dev.php/notes/0" --json -a restapi:secretpw http PUT "http://symfony-rest-edition.lo/app_dev.php/notes/0" --json -a restapi:secretpw < note.json http PUT "http://symfony-rest-edition.lo/app_dev.php/notes/1" --json -a restapi:secretpw < note.json http PUT "http://symfony-rest-edition.lo/app_dev.php/notes/2" --json -a restapi:secretpw < note.json http PUT "http://symfony-rest-edition.lo/app_dev.php/notes/3" --json -a restapi:secretpw < note.json http "http://symfony-rest-edition.lo/app_dev.php/notes?offset=1&limit=1" --json -a restapi:secretpw ``` To run the tests install PHPUnit 3.7+ and call: ``` phpunit -c app/ ``` 4. Getting started with Symfony --- This distribution is meant to be the starting point for your Symfony applications, but it also contains some sample code that you can learn from and play with. A great way to start learning Symfony is via the [Quick Tour](http://symfony.com/doc/2.7/quick_tour/the_big_picture.html), which will take you through all the basic features of Symfony2. Once you're feeling good, you can move onto reading the official [Symfony2 book](http://symfony.com/doc/2.7/index.html). A default bundle, `AppBundle`, shows you Symfony2 in action. After playing with it, you can remove it by following these steps: - delete the `src/AppBundle` directory; - remove the routing entries referencing AcmeBundle in `app/config/routing_dev.yml`; - remove the AcmeBundle from the registered bundles in `app/AppKernel.php`; - remove the `web/bundles/acmedemo` directory; - remove the `security.providers`, `security.firewalls.login` and `security.firewalls.secured_area` entries in the `security.yml` file or tweak the security configuration to fit your needs. What's inside? -------------- [](#whats-inside) The Symfony REST Edition is configured with the following defaults: - Twig is the only configured template engine; - Translations are activated - Doctrine ORM/DBAL is configured; - Swiftmailer is configured; - Annotations for everything are enabled.
