As the symfony community grows, people want easy ways to install the framework. We already have a lot of ways to install symfony: a PEAR package, a sandbox archive and subversion tags and branches.

But people ask for more. As creating specialized packages takes a lot of time, we've been working on them since the symfony 1.0 stable release.

The first package is for Debian/Ubuntu users. Thanks to the great work of Grégoire Hubert, a project manager at Sensio Labs, all Debian/Ubuntu users can now install symfony like any other Debian package.

If you use dpkg, just type the following command line:


wget http://www.symfony-project.com/get/php5-symfony_1.0.2-1_all.deb
dpkg -i php5-symfony_1.0.2-1_all.deb

When symfony is installed, don't forget to try a simple man symfony.

We are also looking for people willing to contribute packages for other Linux distributions like Suse, Fedora or CentOS. If you are a Windows users, why not create a WAMP add-on for symfony?

If you want to help, just drop us a line on the symfony devs mailing list.

Hey Tristan :o)

The package has been submitted to Ubuntu, Debian and is planned to be available on dotdeb very soon.

Although I still would prefer pear or svn install I think that it's a nice addition to the framework.
Wondering if the deb package would translate nicely with alien to rpm for use with, let's say redhat/fedora or suse.

Will do some tests over weekend.

This is great!

This will be another good option to install symfony and will increase the framework popularity!

I would love to see a CentOS package! A lot of web hosts use CentOS, and a package for it would provide an easy installation path for many.

I second the request for CentOS -- I only have to install once on my MacOS development machine, but many times on CentOS boxes. Thanks for all the good work!

@sree: Installing symfony with a Ddebian package is no different from other symfony installation methods.

When installed, you can use the symfony command line to start a new project. And type man symfony to have more information about the command line options.
