1. install skeleton using composer:

    composer create-project instante/skeleton .
   

2. customize this readme.md to correspond to your new project (and remove this "Create new application" section)

3. use bin/deployment/init-project.php to initialize your new project or customize composer.json, frontend/package.json, frontend/bower.json with your own project name, description, license etc.

4. initialize new git repository in project's folder:

    git init
    # on windows, use bin/git/setup-git.cmd to use LF line endings
    git add .
    git commit -m "initial commit"
   

1. install dependencies by executing composer install from project root
2. Ensure that the database schema exists and is empty. Optionally, you may create one extra database schema for tests.
3. Ensure that the www server has write access to these folders
   • temp
   • log
4. setup local environment using bin/deployment/deploy-project.php

install node.js, then use shell commands:

    # setup
    # install grunt CLI and bower as global node.js module
    your-project/frontend$ npm install -g grunt-cli
    your-project/frontend$ npm install -g bower
    
    # install local grunt packages
    your-project/frontend$ npm install
    
    # install local bower components
    your-project/frontend$ bower install
    
    # start watchdog
    your-project/frontend$ grunt

the watchdog starts to automatically compile less and js on any change.

To install new dependency - library:

1. add the dependency to composer.json
2. run composer update --lock - the --lock parameter preserves versions of other libraries.
