To install a custom version of Symfony, you can follow these steps:
- Create a new directory where you want to install Symfony.
mkdir my-symfony-project
cd my-symfony-project
- Initialize a new composer project.
composer init --name=my/vendor-name/my-symfony-project
- Open the composer.json file in a text editor and add the custom version of Symfony you want to install in the require section.
For example, to install Symfony version 4.4, you can use:
"require": {
"symfony/symfony": "4.4.*"
}
- Save the composer.json file and run the composer install command to install Symfony.
composer install
Composer will download and install the specified version of Symfony along with its dependencies.
- Verify the installation by checking the Symfony version.
php bin/console --version
You should see the custom version of Symfony you installed.
That's it! You have successfully installed a custom version of Symfony in your project.
