REQUIREMENTS

The minimum requirement by this application template that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0.

INSTALLATION

Install from an Archive File

Extract the github archive file to a directory named yii2-starter-kit that is directly under the Web root.

After extraction run

php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.0-beta1"
php composer.phar install

You can then access the application through the following URL:

CONFIGURATION

Database

Edit the file environments/local/common/config/_db.php with real data, for example:

return [
    'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',

    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '1234',

NOTE: Yii won't create the database for you, this has to be done manually before you can access it.
