How to install Symphony 4?

First start the docker containers:

$ docker-compose up -d

Then enter the php_web container with the dev user to install Symphony 4 with composer: (Symfony not allows to install with root user)

$ docker exec -u dev -it php_web bash

Change directory to /var/www where is the mapped site folder and please run the standard composer command to install all the necessary codes. Important: always use the word site as the directory parameter.

$ cd /var/www
$ composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton site

In your code editor you will see the /site folder contains all the Symfony codes. This folder mapped to the /var/www/site path.
