Nette Framework Quick Start

The Quick Start tutorial is intended to give you an introduction to using Nette Framework by creating this simple task manager.

What is Nette Framework?

Nette Framework is a popular tool for PHP web development. It is designed to be the most usable and friendliest as possible. It focuses on security and performance and is definitely one of the safest PHP frameworks.

Nette Framework speaks your language and helps you to easily build better websites.

Requirements

This example assumes that you are running PHP 5.3.0 or newer with the Apache web server and MySQL. It requires Nette Framework 2.0.5 or newer.

Installing

The best way to install Nette Framework is to download latest package from http://nette.org/download or create new project using Composer:

curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar create-project nette/quickstart
cd quickstart

Make directories temp and log writable. Navigate your browser to the www directory and you will see a welcome page. PHP 5.4 allows you run php -S localhost:8888 -t www to start the webserver and then visit http://localhost:8888 in your browser.

It is CRITICAL that file app/config/config.neon & whole app, log and temp directory are NOT accessible directly via a web browser! If you don't protect this directory from direct web access, anybody will be able to see your sensitive data. See security warning.
