This is a simple, skeleton application using the ZF2 MVC layer and module systems. This application is meant to be used as a starting place for those looking to get their feet wet with ZF2.

The recommended way to get a working copy of this project is to clone the repository and use composer to install dependencies:

cd my/project/dir
git clone git://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication.git
cd ZendSkeletonApplication
php composer.phar install

Alternatively, you can install using native git submodules. This method works fine but it is recommended that you use Composer due to the dependency management it provides.

git clone git://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication.git --recursive

You will also need to update public/index.php and modules/Application/Module.php to enable autoloading. For public/index.php, replace lines 2-13 with:

use Zend\Loader\AutoloaderFactory,
    Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceManager,
    Zend\Mvc\Service\ServiceManagerConfiguration;

chdir(dirname(__DIR__));
require_once (getenv('ZF2_PATH') ?: 'vendor/ZendFramework/library') . '/Zend/Loader/AutoloaderFactory.php';

// Setup autoloader
AutoloaderFactory::factory();

Within modules/Application/Module.php add this method to the Application class:

public function getAutoloaderConfig()
{
    return array(
        'Zend\Loader\StandardAutoloader' => array(
            'namespaces' => array(
                __NAMESPACE__ => __DIR__ . '/src/' . __NAMESPACE__,
            ),
        ),
    );
}

Afterwards, set up a virtual host to point to the public/ directory of the project and you should be ready to go!
