安装Symfony2

Question

I decided to learn symfony so I tried to install it. After getting composer like said in the website, I executed the following command to create a project and get symfony2

composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition Website/test

and unfortunately I got this as a message:

>    Installing symfony/framework-standard-edition (v2.7.1)
      - Installing symfony/framework-standard-edition (v2.7.1)
        Downloading: 100%    

---


>    Created project in Website/test
    Loading composer repositories with package information
    Installing dependencies (including require-dev) from lock file
    Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

**Problem 1**


- Installation request for sensiolabs/security-checker v2.0.5 -> satisfiable by sensiolabs/security-checker[v2.0.5].

- sensiolabs/security-checker v2.0.5 requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system.

**Problem 2**

- sensiolabs/security-checker v2.0.5 requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system.

- sensio/distribution-bundle v4.0.0 requires sensiolabs/security-checker ~2.0 -> satisfiable by sensiolabs/security-checker[v2.0.5].

- Installation request for sensio/distribution-bundle v4.0.0 -> satisfiable by sensio/distribution-bundle[v4.0.0].

The composer.json file :

}

and I got a PHP 5.5.9 version and ubuntu 14.04 as OS.

Can someone explain to me why I'm getting these errors and how to solve them?

Answer 1

As per your errors, the problem is you don't have the PHP cURL extension installed.

In Ubuntu, try the following to install the packages

sudo apt-get install curl php5-curl

Now try again.
