How to install Symfony on a local development environment?

To install Symfony on a local development environment, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you have Composer installed on your machine. If not, download and install Composer from https://getcomposer.org/download/.

  2. Open a terminal or command prompt on your machine and navigate to the directory where you want to install Symfony.

  3. Run the following command to create a new Symfony project:

composer create-project symfony/skeleton my_project_name

Replace my_project_name with the name of your project.

  1. Navigate into the project directory:
cd my_project_name
  1. Start the Symfony development server by running:
symfony server:start

This will start a web server at http://localhost:8000 where you can access your Symfony application.

  1. You can now open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8000 to see your Symfony application running on your local development environment.

That's it! You have successfully installed Symfony on your local development environment. You can now start developing your Symfony application.
