When a new Yii2 project is required move to the root of your web and issue the following command.
[codesyntax lang=”bash”]
composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic fdoc
[/codesyntax]
Composer will initiate and build the new project “fdoc”.
Two commands should be issued to make directories writable by the web process.
b[codesyntax lang=”bash”]
chmod 0777 runtime chmod 0777 web/assets
[/codesyntax]
You may need to change ownership of the files by issuing the following command.
[codesyntax lang=”bash”]
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data fdoc
[/codesyntax]
