Create and run a Sylius project on macOS

Create the project

• Install PHPBrew to manage multiple PHP versions

• Install Docker

• Install globally the library Argon2 used by PHP for password hashing. It must be installed globally because it's used to build PHP itself.

  brew install argon2
  

• Install with PHPBrew a version of PHP compatibly with Sylius (^7.2)

  phpbrew install 7.4.16 +default +intl +pdo +mysql +gd +exif -- --with-password-argon2
  

• Check that PHPBrew installated the version correctly and set it as the default PHP binary

  phpbrew list
  phpbrew switch 7.4.16
  

• Check that PHP 7.4.16 is working fine

  php --version
  

• Modify the php.ini with phpbrew config changing the following keys

  memory_limit=2G
  date.timezone="Europe/Berlin"
  

• Create a Docker container to handle MySQL

  docker run -p 3306:3306 --name sylius-course-db -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -d mysql:5.7
  

• Check that the container sylius-course-db is running fine

  docker ps
  

  and check that you can reach the DB with Sequel Pro (for example)

  host: 127.0.0.1
  username: root
  password: root
  port: 3306
  

• Install Symfony CLI

• Create the Sylius project

  composer create-project sylius/sylius-standard SyliusCourse
  

  N.B. If the installation fails because you're missing some PHP extension (e.g. Install or enable PHP's gd extension), you can run

  phpbrew ext install <name of the extension>
  

• Change the database configuration inside the file .env

  DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:root@127.0.0.1:3306/sylius_course_%kernel.environment%
  

• Install Sylius

  cd SyliusCourse
  php bin/console sylius:install
  

  N.B. If you have an error with the PHP's extension intl, then follow this Github's thread to install it correctly.

• Install the frontend dependencies and then build the assets

  yarn install
  yarn run gulp
  

• Run the Symfony local server and enjoy!

  symfony server:start
  open http://127.0.0.1:8000
  

Setup PHPStorm

• Enable the Symfony plugin for the project going to Languages & Frameworks -> PHP -> Symfony -> Enable Plugin for this Project

• Open package.json and add this into the script section:

  "symfony:start": "symfony server:start"
  

• Go into Run/Debug configurations and

  • add an npm action to run the script symfony:start
  • add an npm action to run the script watch
  • add a Compound action to run the two npm actions

• Go to View -> Tool Windows -> Database to show the Database panel:

  • tap + symbol to add a MySQL database
  • set Host: localhost
  • set User: root
  • set Password: root
  • set Port: 3306
  • set Database: sylius_course_dev
