1. Prerequisites

The following PHP extensions need to be installed before you start:

• php5-xsl

• php5-intl

• XDebug (for PHPUnit CodeCoverage)

1. Installing the PHP-QA-Tools Edition

As Symfony uses Composer to manage its dependencies, the recommended way to create a new project is to use it.

If you don't have Composer yet, download it following the instructions on http://getcomposer.org/ or just run the following command:

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

Then, use the create-project command to generate a new Symfony application:

php composer.phar create-project tp/phpqatools-edition path/to/install 2.1.x-dev

Composer will install Symfony and all its dependencies under the path/to/install directory.

Enjoy!
