To install Yii on 000Webhost, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Sign up for an account on 000Webhost if you haven't already done so.

Step 2: After creating your account, log in to the 000Webhost control panel.

Step 3: Navigate to the "File Manager" section in the control panel.

Step 4: Create a new directory in the public_html folder, where your website will be hosted. You can name this directory anything you want, for example, "myapp".

Step 5: Download the latest version of Yii from the official website (https://www.yiiframework.com/).

Step 6: Extract the Yii framework files on your local machine.

Step 7: Upload the extracted Yii framework files to the "myapp" directory in the File Manager. You can use an FTP client or the web-based file manager to upload the files.

Step 8: After uploading the Yii files, navigate to the "myapp" directory in the File Manager.

Step 9: Locate the "requirements" folder in your Yii installation directory and rename it to "requirements_old". This step is important to avoid any permission issues.

Step 10: Next, navigate to the "myapp" directory and create a new folder named "protected". This folder is where your Yii application files will be stored.

Step 11: Now, you can start building your Yii application within the "protected" folder. You can either develop your application locally and upload the files or use an online IDE or code editor like the 000Webhost online file editor.

Step 12: Once your Yii application is ready, you can access it using the URL of your domain followed by the "myapp" directory. For example, if your domain is "example.com" and you named the Yii directory "myapp", the URL would be "http://example.com/myapp".

That's it! You have successfully installed Yii on 000Webhost. You can now start building your Yii application or project within the "protected" folder.
