					|  |  |  |  | 
 | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | The minimum requirement by Yii is that your Web server supports | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | PHP 5.3.8 or above. Yii has been tested with Apache HTTP server | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | on Windows and Linux operating systems. | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | 
 | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | Please access the following URL to check if your Web server reaches | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | the requirements by Yii, assuming "YiiPath" is where Yii is installed: | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | 
 | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  |       http://hostname/YiiPath/requirements/index.php |

					|  |  |  |  | QUICK START |

					|  |  |  |  | 
 | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | Yii comes with a command line tool called "yiic" that can create | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | a skeleton Yii application for you to start with. | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | 
 | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | On a command line, type in the following commands: | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | 
 | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  |    for Linux | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  |         $ cd YiiPath/framework | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  |         $ ./yiic webapp ../testdrive | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | 
 | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  |    for Windows | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  |         cd YiiPath\framework | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  |         yiic webapp ..\testdrive | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | 
 | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | The new Yii application will be created at "YiiPath/testdrive". | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | You can access it with the following URL: | 
			
		
	
		
			
				
					|  |  |  |  | The minimum requirement by Yii is that your Web server supports PHP 5.3.?. |
