Before you get started Zend Framework 2 Installation, make sure that you have the following software installed:

•  ‹Servers:  xampp or wamp server
• ‹ MySisGit: Git is needed to check out source code from various github.com repositories
• Enable your php_openssl Module From your php.ini File

 Step 1:

• First Download and Install MySisGit with just Next Next….Next

Step 2:

To install a new Zend Framework 2, we will need to download the latest version of ZendSkeletonApplication and set up a virtual host to point to the newly created Zend Framework project. The steps are given as follows:

• Run Your MySisGit  Software

• Navigate Server to folder location where you want to set up the new Zend Framework project:

• Write and Run Command in your git window for Clone the ZendSkeletonApplication app from GitHub:

$ git clone git://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication.git zf2

Step 3:

Install dependencies using Composer:

•  Navigate zf2 folder location where you want install dependency using Composer, Write and Run Below Command to your Git :

  $ cd zf2 

• Update composer.phar from your zf2 folder , Write Below Command to your Git Software

  <b>$ php composer.phar self-update 

• Install composer.phar from your zf2 folder, Write Below Command to your Git Software

$ php composer.phar install 

Step 4:

 So now we have the Zend Framework installed. A couple of things to left we will do it now. As we always add any site I created into my server I customize it to v-host, so that it will works like a real site with write and view protection as like server. So we will do it now.

• Open this file C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\http-vhosts.conf

• Add the following lines to the file, while ensuring you have the first line in there!

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName zf2

DocumentRoot C:\xampp\htdocs\zf2\public

SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"

<Directory C:\xampp\htdocs\zf2\public>

DirectoryIndex index.php

AllowOverride All

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

• And also add this if you already do not have this, this will give access to the localhost as usual

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName localhost

DocumentRoot C:\xampp\htdocs

SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"

<Directory C:\xampp\htdocs>

DirectoryIndex index.php

AllowOverride All

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Now restart the apache by Xampp control panel stop and start again.

Finally Open c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and add this line at the last

 127.0.0.1 zf2 

 127.0.0.1 localhost 

Now just open your browser and type http://zf2 you will see the ZF2 welcome screen. Good luck 🙂
