### Install from an Archive File
|
|
|
|
Extract the archive file downloaded from [yiiframework.com](http://www.yiiframework.com/download/) to
|
|
a directory named `basic` that is directly under the Web root.
|
|
|
|
You can then access the application through the following URL:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
http://localhost/basic/web/
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Install via Composer
|
|
|
|
If you do not have [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), you may install it by following the instructions
|
|
at [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-nix).
|
|
|
|
You can then install this application template using the following command:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic
|
|
~~~
|
|
|

|
|
directly under the Web root.
