This is a simple, skeleton application using the ZF2 MVC layer and module systems. This application is meant to be used as a starting place for those looking to get their feet wet with ZF2.

The recommended way to get a working copy of this project is to clone the repository and use composer to install dependencies using the create-project command:

curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php --
php composer.phar create-project -sdev --repository-url="http://packages.zendframework.com" zendframework/skeleton-application path/to/install

Alternately, clone the repository and manually invoke composer using the shipped composer.phar:

cd my/project/dir
git clone git://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication.git
cd ZendSkeletonApplication
php composer.phar self-update
php composer.phar install

(The self-update directive is to ensure you have an up-to-date composer.phar available.)

Another alternative for downloading the project is to grab it via curl, and then pass it to tar:

cd my/project/dir
curl -#L https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication/tarball/master | tar xz --strip-components=1

You would then invoke composer to install dependencies per the previous example.

Alternatively, you can install using native git submodules:

git clone git://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication.git --recursive

Afterwards, set up a virtual host to point to the public/ directory of the project and you should be ready to go!
