Using the Symfony
full-stack framework

First, install the Symfony Installer. Then, execute this command:

The Symfony Installer is a small PHP application that must be installed once in your computer. It greatly simplifies the creation of new projects based on the Symfony framework.

Installation on Linux and Mac OS X
$ sudo curl -LsS https://symfony.com/installer -o /usr/local/bin/symfony
$ sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/symfony
Installation on Windows
c:\> php -r "file_put_contents('symfony', file_get_contents('https://symfony.com/installer'));"

Move the downloaded file to your projects directory and execute it as php symfony.

If you can't use the installer try instead the Symfony installation based on Composer.

$ symfony new my_project
Deploy to Platform.sh
$ symfony new my_project 2.8
Deploy to Platform.sh

Using the Symfony
components

Symfony framework is built on top of a set of decoupled and reusable PHP components called Symfony Components. They are becoming the standard foundation on which the best PHP applications are built on. You can use any of these components on your own applications independently from the framework.

Adding a Symfony Component to your application:

$ composer require

This requires to install Composer globally in your system.
