How to install yii framework

## Install composer through composer

## This is installed with Composer (Recommended learning: yii tutorial )

If Composer has not been installed, you can install it according to the method in getcomposer.org.

In Linux and Mac OS X you can run the following command:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

In Windows, you need to download and run Composer-Setup.exe.

If you encounter any questions or want to learn more about Composer. If you have Composer installed, make sure you are using the latest version. You can use the composer self-update command to update Composer to the latest version.

All composer commands assume that you have installed composer globally so that it can be used as a composer command. If you are using composer.phar in a local directory, you must adjust the example commands accordingly.

If you have installed Composer before, make sure to use the latest version. You can update Composer by running composer self-update.

Installing Yii

After installing Composer, you can install the Yii application template by running the following command under a web-accessible folder:

composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic

This will install the latest stable version of the Yii application template in a directory called basic. You can choose a different directory name if needed.

Tips: If you want to install the latest development version of Yii, you can use the following command instead, which adds a stability option

composer create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic

Please note that the development version of Yii Should not be used in production as it may break your running code.
