Creating your first Project

Symfony 0 to Hero: The Complete 2026 Guide

Your First Symfony App

Let's create a new web application.

bash symfony new my_project --webapp

The --webapp flag installs all the tools needed for a traditional web application (Twig, ORM, Security).

Running the Server

bash cd my_project symfony serve

Navigate to http://localhost:8000. You should see the Symfony welcome page!
