symfony2.6.1无法安装它，cmd无法识别php

Question

I'm following a tutorial to get started with symfony. On that tutorial they show you were the download link is for symfony. But once i go on the website : http://symfony.com/download there is no download link. I guess they removed it.

They show you how to install it via CMD commands.

Installation on Windows
c:\> php -r "readfile('http://symfony.com/installer');" > symfony

So i try that, but they don't recognize "php" as intern command.

I tried to run the cmd on administrator mode it didn't change.

I know there is something about the environment variables, that i should put PHP in it. But now i try to run symfony on my wamp server, so do i have to link it with wamp ?

Answer 1

I also tried that error what I did is that I instead of C:> you need to go to C:\xampp\php:> and there set the path

C:\xampp\php:\> set PATH=%PATH%;C:\xampp\php

then after this you go to path where you wan to save your project. I hope this helps.
