README

Welcome to the Symfony DDD Edition - a fully-functional Symfony2 application that you can use as the skeleton for your new applications.

This edition is a modified clone of the great gimler/symfony-rest-edition.

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 DDD Edition

When it comes to installing the Symfony DDD 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 crafics/symfony-ddd-edition --stability=dev path/to/install

Composer will install Symfony and all its dependencies under the path/to/install directory. test

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

1. 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

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.
