You can also learn about these practices in [the official Symfony Book](https://symfony.com/book). Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.2.0 or higher; - PDO-SQLite PHP extension enabled; - and the [usual Symfony application requirements](https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup.html#technical-requirements). Installation ------------ [](#installation) There are 3 different ways of installing this project depending on your needs: **Option 1.** [Download Symfony CLI](https://symfony.com/download) and use the `symfony` binary installed on your computer to run this command: ``` symfony new --demo my_project ``` **Option 2.** [Download Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) and use the `composer` binary installed on your computer to run these commands: ``` # you can create a new project based on the Symfony Demo project... composer create-project symfony/symfony-demo my_project # ...or you can clone the code repository and install its dependencies git clone https://github.com/symfony/demo.git my_project cd my_project/ composer install ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) There's no need to configure anything before running the application. There are 2 different ways of running this application depending on your needs: **Option 1.** [Download Symfony CLI](https://symfony.com/download) and run this command: ``` cd my_project/ symfony serve ``` Then access the application in your browser at the given URL ( by default). **Option 2.** Use a web server like Nginx or Apache to run the application (read the documentation about [configuring a web server for Symfony](https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/web_server_configuration.html)).
