Slim Framework Skeleton Application + Eloquent ORM + Controllers (in the works)
===============================================================================

[](#slim-framework-skeleton-application--eloquent-orm--controllers-in-the-works)

Use this skeleton application to quickly setup and start working on a new Slim Framework application. This application uses the latest Slim and Slim-Views repositories. It also uses Sensio Labs' [Twig](http://twig.sensiolabs.org) template library.

This skeleton application was built for Composer. This makes setting up a new Slim Framework application quick and easy.

Install Composer
----------------

[](#install-composer)

If you have not installed Composer, do that now. I prefer to install Composer globally in `/usr/local/bin`, but you may also install Composer locally in your current working directory. For this tutorial, I assume you have installed Composer locally.

Install the Application
-----------------------

[](#install-the-application)

After you install Composer, run this command from the directory in which you want to install your new Slim Framework application.

```
php composer.phar create-project z-rosenthal/slim-plus [my-app-name]

```

Replace `[my-app-name]` with the desired directory name for your new application. You'll want to:

- Point your virtual host document root to your new application's `public/` directory.
- Ensure `logs/` and `templates/cache` are web writeable.

That's it! Now go build something cool.

\##Note: For Eloquent ORM You will need to install mysql

```
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

```

You will also need to install the php5-mysql package

```
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

```

Then restart apache

```
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

```

The mysql connection info is located in index.php at the top

A user model has been created in the app/models directory
