create symfony project using the symfony installer

Question

i used to to use composer to create a new symfony project like so

composer create-project symfony/symfony-standard-edition SymfonyProjectDir 2.5.*

but know when i want to use the symfony installer i use the command

symfony new SymfonyProjectDir 2.5.*

or

symfony new SymfonyProjectDir 2.5

but i get this error

  [RuntimeException]                                                 
  The Symfony version should be 2.N.M, where N = 0..9 and M = 0..99  

new directory [version]

how can i tel that i want to use the version 2.5 including the last updates from symfony like i used to with composer?

yes i know, but how can i get a specific version with the latest updates, do i have to find out myself? — Oussama Elgoumri

If you're using a non current version like 2.5 then you just need to look up the release notes surely — DevDonkey

@MattHolbrook-Bull they should handle that, what if i want to use version 2.3 do i need to look up the release notes to, why they don't just include the * at the end like composer ...!!!!! — Oussama Elgoumri

There is no reason to have the latest minor version of an version. You start developing with the latest version and then you should freeze it until there is a reason to update.

If you don't care, clone the git repo, grep your tag and create your project with it.

what do you mean by grep your tag?

grep is a command line tool for linux. Maybe this works: if the version and tag format in git is x.x.x, then you can git tag --list | tail -1 and get your latest version. since git clone checks the master out you can do a sparse checkout since git 1.7 with a git config core.sparsecheckout true before clone.

You can try this, it worked for me:

Symfony Installation and Project Creation

Or just open command line and execute these commands:

for (linux/mac)

sudo curl -LsS http://symfony.com/installer -o /usr/local/bin/symfony
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/symfony
symfony new SymfonyProjectDir 2.5

The version will be the most recent version in 2.5, as you want

Last answer here is from 2016 so if you end up here somehow in 2019 the solution is much easier!

First make sure you are using a php version of 7.1 or higher. Check if you have composer installed and if you don't just follow this easy documentation: Download/Install Composer

Now you are all set, go to the directory where you want your symfony project be stored and enter the command composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton my-project. This will create your first structure in symfony 4!

Now you just enter your project directory and type php bin/console server:run on your terminal and you are done. You can import repositories from git too starting git init from the same project folder.

First time with Symfony? Follow this tutorial for a first controller/view: Introduction to symfony4

Hope this if somehow usefull to anyone, i'm just trying to give something back to this community that has given me so much.

Please try with it:

composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition SymfonyProjectDir/ 3.0.7

It should work. Maybe your forgot the last slash...
