Installation

  1. Download/install Composer into this directory. See http://getcomposer.org

  2. Download the vendor files by running:

php composer.phar install
  1. Point your web server at this directory, or use the built-in PHP web server, which is nice and friendly (but requires PHP 5.4+)
cd web
php -S localhost:8000
  1. Make sure a few directories are writeable:
mkdir logs
mkdir data
chmod 777 logs data

  1. Load up the app in your browser!

    http://localhost:8000

Collaboration

As we start writing the content for this tutorial, we invite you to read through it, try things out, and offer improvements, either as issues on this repository or as pull requests. REST is hard, so the more smart minds we can have on it, the better it will be for everyone.

Cheers!
