Note :  This guide is for Admins only , who  is going to install Zend for the first time

Here I simply describe about how to install Zend framework and create a sample project

My server is running on Fedora 9, PHP5

Step 1:

Download the Zend framework (MINIMAL PACKAGE).  I have downloaded http://downloads.zend.com/framework/1.10.0/ZendFramework-1.10.0-minimal.tar.gz

Step2:  Extract the package

Step3:  Create Sample Project using Zend

Go to the any web directory say, /var/www/html/test

Now call the zf.sh file in the bin folder of zend framework to create new project

In my case I extracted the zend framework in /var/ww/html/zend-framework

So I called the zf.sh file as follows

/var/www/html/zend-framework/bin/zf.sh create project zendtest

Now a project called called “ zendtest “  has been created in the current directory. This project will have four Sub folders.

Now we need to include the Libraries in the zend framework in our new project. To do that, just copy the folder called Zend from the library folder of our zend framework.  (in my case I copied /var/ww/html/zend-framework/library/Zend ).

That’s all, we have created a sample  project in Zend framework. We can test it using browsing the Public folder in the new project

http://localhost/ test/zendtest/public/
