Can't create a new Symfony project - symfony

I can't create a new Symfony project as described in the Symfony Documentation: https://symfony.com/doc/4.3/setup.html
This is the command I use: symfony new --full my_project
Output:
$ symfony new --full my_project
WARNING The current directory seems configured for as a SymfonyCloud project, but it is not linked yet.
You can link this directory to an existing project: symfony link [project-id] (get project IDs via symfony projects)
* Creating a new Symfony project with Composer
unable to find composer, get it at https://getcomposer.org/download/: exec: "composer": executable file not found in
$PATH
I don't understand why the command can't find the composer executable.
When I just enter $ composer in my terminal, composer is executed.
This is my Symfony CLI version: Symfony CLI version v4.6.1
In my .bash_profile file, I have an alias for composer:
alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar"
My /etc/paths:
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
What is wrong in my config?


Most likely, it's because you didn't rename composer.phar.
First, do this:
mv /usr/local/bin/composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
It will rename composer.phar to composer.
Then you can also delete your alias.
Alias are for connected users. Executable and installer don't read your aliases, which is why symfony installer isn't finding composer.
If it doesn't solve your problem, you can try to install your Symfony project with composer directly:
composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton my_project


You can also check what php version is that your symfony is using
In my case it was linked to php 5 and by changing to php 7 problem has been resolved
To check php version linked use :
symfony local:php:list
And then to edit your php version create a .php-version file then write the version that you want to use

I can't start a Symfony project in PhpStorm

After 3 years I start using PhpStorm again, my first think is using Symfony 4.x with PhpStorm. But I can't start any project from Terminal on MacOS Mojave.
I have installed all plugins: Symfony, PHP Annotation, PHP Toolbox
Also I have install Symfony from Terminal also Composer.
When I search with ls in the Terminal Symfony isn't shown there.
In Finder I can see it as hidden file .symfony
trying to go in the director like cd /.symfony also not found also does not work

I think you are speaking about the symfony cli which does not have anything to do with PHPstorm.
Go to https://symfony.com/download and install the symfony cli
curl -sS https://get.symfony.com/cli/installer | bash
The symfony cli should work without any problems after following these steps.
EDIT:
Don't forget to follow the steps written after installing the cli
Add this to your shell configuration file:
export PATH="$HOME/.symfony/bin:$PATH"
Start a new shell, and then run 'symfony'
you have to add that line at the end of your ~/.bashrc file

Symfony: command not found

I am trying working with symfony since past couple of months. Last night I did an auto remove to purge not needed repositories. After that I have not been able to create a new symfony project using the symfony command. When I run Symfony new SecurityDemo 2.8.1 in the terminal,
I get the error
Symfony: command not found
I tried installing the Symfony Installer again as directed in the documentation http://symfony.com/doc/current/setup.html. I went to my root directory and followed the installation procedure as shown in the screenshot
Still I get the same error.
All help is appreciated.
EDIT:
I am working with LAMP and am using PHP 5.6.
When I try to update the symfony Installer using symfony self-update I get the output
// Symfony Installer is already updated to the latest version (1.5.8).

Add the following line to your shell configuration file:
export PATH="$HOME/.symfony/bin:$PATH"

For me the fix was to reinstall symfony:
curl -sS https://get.symfony.com/cli/installer | bash
see here https://symfony.com/download
as far as I experienced, it does not tamper with the environment.

If you're sure you installed the symfony command properly you have to call it with lowercase s and not Symfony.
The correct command is:
$ symfony new SecurityDemo 2.8.1
http://symfony.com/doc/current/setup.html#basing-your-project-on-a-specific-symfony-version

Try call Symfony it in lowercase as example:
>symfony new SecurityDemo 2.8.1
Hope this help

I had the same problem. The right command would be:
php symfony new SecurityDemo 2.8.1
Not sure why it would not work without the word php even though the documentation does not prescribe it.

cd your-project/
composer require symfony/web-server-bundle --dev
php bin/console server:start
Working beautifully for me on Fedora 33 Workstation
base: https://symfony.com/doc/4.0/setup/built_in_web_server.html

Turns out that I cannot use capital 'S' in symfony. using symfony new project_name did the trick.

The Right Command is
symfony new SecurityDemo 2.8.1

If you can’t use the Symfony installer for any reason, you can create Symfony applications with Composer, the dependency manager used by modern PHP applications.
composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition SecurityDemo "2.8.1"
make sure you've already install composer.

When you run curl -sS https://get.symfony.com/cli/installer | bash to install Symfony CLI Installer. After installation run either of the next commands:
Use it as a local file:
/root/.symfony5/bin/symfony
Or add the following line to your shell configuration file:
export PATH="$HOME/.symfony5/bin:$PATH"
Or install it globally on your system:
mv /root/.symfony5/bin/symfony /usr/local/bin/symfony
Then start a new shell and run 'symfony'

try this
composer require symfony/flex
composer install

Symfony framework on Cloud9

Is there a way to setup a Symfony project on Cloud9?
I found some articles on creating Yii projects this way, but nothing on Symfony.

Here you have the answer.
https://docs.c9.io/docs/symfony2
I already create one.

Note : I assume you are currently on an empty project/repository.
Run the following commands :
Download the composer.phar executable : $ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Create the project on the current folder : $ php composer.phar create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition projectName/

Where to run `$ php vendors install` from?

I am new to Symfony, and there are many command lines need to be run, but I did not know where to run those commands.

In the directory where you installed Symfony. There shold be some subdirectories: app, src, bin, vendors... And the command you should run is php bin/vendors install.
Notice that this command is for Symfony 2.0.x. If you installed the latest symfony version (2.1.x) you should not use this command and use Composer instead.

Why symfony 2 uses both, the 'deps' file and the 'composer.json' file?

Why symfony 2 uses both, the deps file and the composer.json file?
I can see some documents tell me to:
php bin/vendors install
Whilst the other tell me to:
php composer.phar install

The deps file and bin/vendors script are used in Symfony 2.0.x, while Symfony 2.1.x has switched to Composer. The bin/vendors script was just a stub because Composer was not ready for production when Symfony 2.0.0 was released.
