Yii 2 Basic Application Template

NOTE Yii 2 and the relevant applications and extensions are still under heavy development. We may make significant changes without prior notices. Please do not use them for production. Please consider using Yii v1.1 if you have a project to be deployed for production soon.

Thank you for using Yii 2 Basic Application Template - an application template that works out-of-box and can be easily customized to fit for your needs.

Yii 2 Basic Application Template is best suitable for small Websites which mainly contain a few informational pages.

REQUIREMENTS

The minimum requirement by Yii is that your Web server supports PHP 5.3.?.

INSTALLATION

Install via Composer

If you do not have Composer, you may download it from http://getcomposer.org/ or run the following command on Linux/Unix/MacOS:

curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

You can then install the Bootstrap Application using the following command:

php composer.phar create-project --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-basic yii-basic

Now you should be able to access the application using the URL http://localhost/yii-basic/www/, assuming yii-basic is directly under the document root of your Web server.

Install from an Archive File

This is not currently available. We will provide it when Yii 2 is formally released.

Install from development repository

If you've cloned the Yii 2 framework main development reop you can bootstrap your application with:

cd yii2/apps/basic
php composer.phar create-project
