To run the symfony server, you should install php, composer and
symfony-cli packages. After it's done installing, you have to install the
project packages:
composer installThen you can finally start the symfony server (-d starts server as daemon):
symfony server:start [-d]You should also start the database server. I use xampp, which you can
download here. To start the
SQL server, you can either use the GUI app, or you can start it from the
terminal (xampp might not be in path, on linux, it's /opt/lampp/lampp):
sudo xampp startmysqlIf the database isn't created yet, you can do it by executing this (you should have SQL server running):
php bin/console doctrine:database:createTo actually create the tables in the database, you can use migrations. If the migration is not generated yet, you can generate it like this:
symfony console make:migrationWhen you have the generated migration, you can migrate it, which create the actual tables in the database based on the Entities in the project:
symfony console doctrine:migrations:migrateIf there are fixtures created, you can load them to the database:
symfony console doctrine:fixtures:loadThere's a list of some useful commands, which could come in handy:
| Function | Command |
|---|---|
| Create entity | symfony console make:entity |
| Create controller | symfony console make:controller |
| Create form | symfony console make:form |
| Display all routers | symfony console debug:router |
