The minimum requirement by this project template that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0.

If you do not have Composer, you may install it by following the instructions at getcomposer.org.

Clone the project in your local working directory and execute the following command

composer update

After completing the above steps/commands, you should have the vendor directory with yii core and extensions included

Copy the 'config/environment-default.php' file and rename the copied file to 'environment.php' and then Edit the environment changes accordingly in this file, for example:

** For DEV environment **

defined('YII_ENV') or define('YII_ENV', 'dev');

** For Prod environment **

defined('YII_ENV') or define('YII_ENV', 'prod');

Create a database with the name of your choice

Copy the 'config/db-default.php' file and rename the copied file to 'db.php' and then Edit database changes accordingly in this file, for example:

return [
    'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
    'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2basic',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '1234',
    'charset' => 'utf8',
];

Migrations

To apply all migrations, execute the following command

./yii migrate/up

Now you should make a virtual host which will point to /excursion/web directory and then you can access application through the following URL

http://localhost/excursion/

NOTE: Yii won't create the database for you, this has to be done manually before you can access it.

Also check and edit the other files in the config/ directory to customize your application.
