If you are going to install symfony for the first time, read the Getting Started guide. It provides a step by step tutorial for installing the framework. You can also read it offline by downloading the PDF version. |
If you have already worked with symfony 1.0 and/or symfony 1.1, read the What's new in 1.2 tutorial. It describes the changes and the new features of this version of symfony. If you want to upgrade a project from a previous major symfony version, read the Upgrade tutorial. Also, before upgrading to the next minor release, read the Changelog. |
The symfony framework is available for download under many different packages. Using one or the other mostly depends on your need and the tools you use. The Getting Started tutorial describes the best way to install symfony.
You can download symfony as a .tgz archive or a .zip one:
Symfony is managed in a Subversion repository. The 1.2 release is available at the following URL:
http://svn.symfony-project.com/branches/1.2
The sandbox is a pre-packaged symfony project. It is made for people who want to play with the framework.
You can download a sandbox as a .tgz archive or a .zip one:
You can also install symfony as a PEAR package:
$ pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com$ pear install symfony/symfony-1.2.12It is not the recommended way of installing symfony, as you should prefer a dedicated installation for each of your projects. Read the Getting Started tutorial for more information.
