how to run symfony project

To run a Symfony project, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install Symfony: First, you need to install Symfony on your system. You can do this by following the official Symfony installation guide. The guide provides detailed instructions for different operating systems. [[Source 1]]

  2. Create a new Symfony project: Once Symfony is installed, you can create a new Symfony project using the Symfony CLI (Command Line Interface). Open your terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory where you want to create the project, and run the following command: symfony new my_project_name --full Replace my_project_name with the desired name for your project. This command will create a new Symfony project with a full-stack structure, including all the necessary files and directories. [[Source 1]]

  3. Start the Symfony development server: After the project is created, navigate to the project directory using the terminal or command prompt and run the following command to start the Symfony development server: symfony serve This command will start the development server, and you will see the URL where your Symfony application is accessible (usually http://localhost:8000). Open this URL in your web browser to see your Symfony project in action. [[Source 1]]

That's it! You have successfully run a Symfony project. You can now start developing your application using Symfony's powerful features and components.

Please note that the above steps assume you have already installed PHP and Composer on your system, as they are prerequisites for Symfony. If you haven't installed them yet, you can find installation instructions on their respective websites.
