Need help to install yii2 application advanced tem

Question

I'm new to Yii2, now I'm trying to install yii2 application advanced template.

I did follow these steps:

1 - Download yii2-app-advanced zip file from https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced

2 - Follow GETTING STARTED guide:

 + I'm using Uniform Zero Server (installed in F disk with the path "F:\Server\UniServerZ\www") ok.
 + I creted new folder with name "yii2" in the "www" directory ("F:\Server\UniServerZ\www\yii2")
 + I extracted zip file yii2-app-advanced into "yii2" folder (Every source of yii2-app-advanced now in "yii2" folder so it is the root directory of yii2-app-advanced)
 + Click init.bat file to run "init" and select (0 - Developer mode) and type "yes" to confirm. Done
 + And then I click the yii.bat file, but nothing happened.
 + I tried use this url : localhost/yii2/backend/web/                
   And I get this Error:
   Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'F:\Server\UniServerZ\www\yii2\backend\web/../../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.;F:/Server/UniServerZ/home/us_pear/PEAR') in F:\Server\UniServerZ\www\yii2\backend\web\index.php on line 5
                   or url : localhost/yii2/frontend/web/ 
   And I get this Error too:
   Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'F:\Server\UniServerZ\www\yii2\frontend\web/../../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.;F:/Server/UniServerZ/home/us_pear/PEAR') in F:\Server\UniServerZ\www\yii2\frontend\web\index.php on line 5 

• I checked the "vendor" directory follow this path: F:\Server\UniServerZ\www\yii2\vendor But it's empty.

So what should I do to fix this error and install yii2 application advanced template?

(My Uniform Server runs PHP5.4)

Answer 4

If you are working on linux, go to the downloaded project and in the terminal type (if you have a composer):

php composer.phar install

If the composer is not installed go to https://getcomposer.org/download/ After this, yii2 framework and other extensions will be installed at vendor directory. This should fix the problem

Answer 5

Installing using Composer

If you do not have Composer, follow the instructions in the Installing Yii section of the definitive guide to install it.

With Composer installed, you can then install the application using the following commands:

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.1.1"

composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced yii-application

The first command installs the composer asset plugin which allows managing bower and npm package dependencies through Composer. You only need to run this command once for all. The second command installs the advanced application in a directory named yii-application. You can choose a different directory name if you want.

Install from an Archive File

Extract the archive file downloaded from yiiframework.com to a directory named advanced that is directly under the Web root.

Then follow the instructions given in the next subsection.

Preparing application

After you install the application, you have to conduct the following steps to initialize the installed application. You only need to do these once for all.

1. Execute the init command and select dev as environment.

   php /path/to/yii-application/init

   Otherwise, in production execute init in non-interactive mode.

   php /path/to/yii-application/init --env=Production --overwrite=All

2. Create a new database and adjust the components['db'] configuration in common/config/main-local.php accordingly.

3. Apply migrations with console command yii migrate.

Answer 6

Under Linux, cd to the directory of the downloadable project using Terminal and run the following commands:

$ php init --env=Development
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar update
