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.

I run different versions of Symfony and PHP on my Mac for various apps I have to work on (sorry that our clients are so slow to get to upgrade), and I'm trying to install the LTS version of Symfony through the CLI documentation recommendations, but I'm trying to get it to use a composer.phar in the folder I run the command in... it keeps defaulting to the globally-installed one.
Sure I could just go change composer's execution path or upgrade/downgrade it temporarily whenever I want to run the cli for x version of PHP, but that's gonna drive me crazy and I'd rather see how to tell it to run a certain composer.phar file. I'm not seeing in the documentation how to do this to get the benefits of the --webapp option.
The documentation is weird on it anyway; I can't tell if running composer directly (as composer.phar) will give me the benefits of the --webapp option using the symfony command (because the composer commands are identical for 'traditional web application' and 'console application or API'):
https://symfony.com/doc/5.4/setup.html#creating-symfony-applications
# run this if you are building a traditional web application
$ symfony new my_project_directory --version=5.4 --webapp
# run this if you are building a microservice, console application or API
$ symfony new my_project_directory --version=5.4
# run this if you are building a traditional web application
$ composer create-project symfony/skeleton:"^5.4" my_project_directory
$ cd my_project_directory
$ composer require webapp
# run this if you are building a microservice, console application or API
$ composer create-project symfony/skeleton:"^5.4" my_project_directory
When I run the install through composer directly, I can't tell if I'm getting the benefits of the symfony command --webapp option... and I'm not seeing an option for the symfony command to specify to use the folder's composer.phar.
I had to cheat a little bit: I installed the latest composer using the instructions here to a composer.phar file:
https://getcomposer.org/download/
I then created a console alias like php composer.phar, ran the Symfony create composer command with that alias, which created the symfony-5 folder no problem, then I copied the composer.phar file to the new folder and run the alias for any other composer commands, like with require webapp, which is working! Kind of nice to freeze a version of composer for any similar repos.
Maybe not the best answer, but it's working.
Also I discovered that I could just run composer self-update to get the latest version, which worked, then composer self-update [whatever version number] to get back to one I need that works with other repos (since certain version ranges just do not work with certain version ranges of PHP). Annoying, but functional.
Ultimately I think moving forward, it's best to make a copy of composer.phar at a compatible version range for your older PHP apps, depending on their versions, and use those in an alias, rather than totally rely on a global composer version, which has proven not completely workable for my work.
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
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
I created a new symfony 2 project using 2.7. When I try to install a plugin using command line "symfony plugin:install sfFormExtraPlugin", I got an error:
"[InvalidArgumentException]
There are no commands defined in the "plugin" namespace.".
When I type "symfony list", I got "

". no plugin or other command like "cache" etc. What should I do? Thanks!
sfFormExtraPlugin is a plugin for Symfony 1 and won’t work with Symfony 2.*
Also, the symfony command line tool in Symfony 2 is not meant for application commands anymore but for creating new projects/installing Symfony. The new command line tool for application commands is app/console (which you use like php app/console something:something.)
But even then, this command isn’t used for managing dependencies (like plugins) anymore. We use composer for that instead. That’s a powerful package manager for PHP that can install and update the packages you require and also make sure that they are compatible. And it is not limited to the Symfony world.
So I am a new to doctrine, but I am not able to install a bundle at all. I am following the guide, but the "error" which I am getting is very unusual.
Anyhow, I add this lines into deps file:
[FOSRestBundle]
git=http://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSRestBundle.git
target=bundles/FOS/RestBundle
Then I do:
./bin/vendors install
And I get:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/sqlite.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/sqlite.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
Your project seems to be based on a Standard Edition that includes vendors.
Try to run ./bin/vendors install --reinstall
So on this standard way I am not able to install it at all. Can somebody explain me what is the problem, because to me it looks like, the symfony vendors script doesnt recognize changes in deps file at all.
This happens when you've downloaded the Symfony2 Standard Edition from the website. The vendor install script checks to see if the vendor directories are git repositories, and if not, will throw this error. You can fix the situation in one of two ways:
you can either run the command that it suggests: php bin/vendors install --reinstall
or, you can remove the vendors directory, then run php bin/vendors install, which amounts to about the same thing
No need to install that. Just follow the steps in the url : http://mmoreramerino.github.com/GearmanBundle/installation.html
