Symfony Standard Edition

========================



Welcome to the Symfony Standard Edition - a fully-functional Symfony2

application that you can use as the skeleton for your new applications.



This document contains information on how to download, install, and start

using Symfony. For a more detailed explanation, see the [Installation][1]

chapter of the Symfony Documentation.



1) Installing the Standard Edition

----------------------------------



When it comes to installing the Symfony Standard Edition, you have the

following options.



### Use Composer (*recommended*)



As Symfony uses [Composer][2] 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

http://getcomposer.org/ 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 symfony/framework-standard-edition path/to/install



Composer will install Symfony and all its dependencies under the

`path/to/install` directory.



### Download an Archive File



To quickly test Symfony, you can also download an [archive][3] 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



The script returns a status code of `0` if all mandatory requirements are met,

`1` otherwise.



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/demo/hello/Fabien



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][4], 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][5].



A default bundle, `AcmeDemoBundle`, shows you Symfony2 in action. After

playing with it, you can remove it by following these steps:



  * delete the `src/Acme` directory;



  * remove the routing entry referencing AcmeDemoBundle in `app/config/routing_dev.yml`;



  * remove the AcmeDemoBundle 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?

---------------



The Symfony Standard Edition is configured with the following defaults:



  * Twig is the only configured template engine;



  * Doctrine ORM/DBAL is configured;

    sending emails



  * [**MonologBundle**][11] - Adds support for Monolog, a logging library



  * [**AsseticBundle**][12] - Adds support for Assetic, an asset processing

    library



  * **WebProfilerBundle** (in dev/test env) - Adds profiling functionality and

    the web debug toolbar



  * **SensioDistributionBundle** (in dev/test env) - Adds functionality for

    configuring and working with Symfony distributions



  * [**SensioGeneratorBundle**][13] (in dev/test env) - Adds code generation

    capabilities
