We can use this document to easily communicate needs for setting up dev environments and 'gotchas'

You will need the following components already installed on your machine:

• php 5.4+
• mysql
• git (with github username configuration)
• php-memcached (client) (note, must be memcached and not memcache)
• memcached (server)

1. Installing

---

Create a new folder, empty that you will house the project in. Then run the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/teampl4y4/ml.git ./
$ composer update

That will grab the current code repository and the second command will update all the dependencies (such as Syfmony, Doctrine, etc.)

2. Setting up Permissions and Symlinks

---

Next you will want to change permissions to the cache and log folder, instead of simply giving a 777 we want to change the owners/users so that it always have the right access so lets run the following commands:

$ sudo rm -rf app/cache/*
$ sudo rm -rf app/logs/*
$ APACHEUSER=`ps aux | grep -E '[a]pache|[h]ttpd' | grep -v root | head -1 | cut -d\  -f1`
$ sudo chmod +a "$APACHEUSER allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs
$ sudo chmod +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs

Now we need to set up a symlink to our asset folders, you can do this by running the following command:

$ php app/console assets:install --symlink

3. Dumping Assets from Assetic

---

We also use Assetic so this will require us to run the following command (and anytime you change the stylesheets or javascripts inside assetics)

$ php app/console assetic:dump

4. Creating & Updating Parameters.YML file

---

Finally you will need to update the app/config/parameters.yml file. We ignore this on GIT because each environment will have it's own, so copy the distribution that is in GIT at app/config/parameters.yml.dist and change the values inside of it for your development environment.

Note: If you are running MAMP, and have issues getting composer or setting up ICU please read this article: Read This Article/Blog

5. Setting Up Database

---

Please be sure that you copied the app/config/parameters.yml.dist file to app/config/parameters.yml and updated the values for your local database environment. When this is done, you will need to run the following commands to create both the database and the schema:

$ php app/console doctrine:database:create
$ php app/console doctrine:schema:update --force

6. Setting Up Data

---

Fixtures are enabled and on the Fantasy bundle so run the following command to load the development / dummy data

$ php app/console doctrine:fixtures:load

• You can navigate with your browser to /app_dev.php and click register to start creating users if you need
• You can navigate with your browser to /app_dev.php/game/new and start using built in CRUD for "Game" Entity

7. Enabling ACLs

---

We use ACLs for our domain object security, to enable this you will need to run the following command

$ php app/console init:acl

Note: if you get a "Aborting: The table with name 'meta_league.acl_classes' already exists." then that's fine, no worries. You are good to go!
