I've seen lots of videos and instructions on how to install zend framework on wamp and other similiar local host environments. I've also seen lots of references, including here, that mention you don't need to 'install' zend, it just needs to be included in the php files to work.
As I think I understand it, installing zend on localhost environments will allow you to utilize certain tools that for example automate the creation of projects and gets the most out of the framework. I'm assuming that to then use these projects in a web host environment, you simply need to upload a specific project's files and ensure the zend files are in place and included in the directories.
Are my assumptions correct? I'm still trying to grasp the basics of this one and haven't found clarifications in my google searches.
