Prerequisites

PHP Symfony is a modern PHP framework that makes it easy to build web applications. It's flexible, scalable, and easy to use. It's also a great way to learn PHP and web development.

In their own words:

Symfony is a set of reusable PHP components... ...and a PHP framework for web projects

:::tip You can even try thier cloud platform without installing anything! :::

PHP Tools

• PHP - Symfony requires PHP 7.4 or higher. You can download PHP from the official PHP website.

brew install php

• Composer - Symfony uses Composer to manage its dependencies. Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. You can download Composer from the official Composer website.

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'edb40769019ccf227279e3bdd1f5b2e9950eb000c3233ee85148944e555d97be3ea4f40c3c2fe73b22f875385f6a5155') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

• Symfony CLI - Symfony provides a command-line tool called the Symfony CLI. It's a great way to create new Symfony applications, manage dependencies, and run your application. You can download the Symfony CLI from the official Symfony website.

wget https://get.symfony.com/cli/installer -O - | bash
