Create new cakephp 3 project composer

Here are the steps to create a new CakePHP 3 project using Composer:

Step 1: Install Composer

If you haven't already, download and install Composer from the official website: https://getcomposer.org/

Step 2: Create a new project

Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app mycakephpapp

Replace mycakephpapp with the name of your project.

Step 3: Choose the CakePHP version

You will be prompted to choose the version of CakePHP to install. Choose the latest version (currently 3.9.10) by typing 3.9.10 and pressing Enter.

Step 4: Configure the project

You will be asked to configure the project. You can choose to use the default configuration or customize it. For a basic setup, you can choose the default configuration by typing n and pressing Enter.

Step 5: Install dependencies

Composer will now install the required dependencies for your CakePHP project. This may take a few minutes.

Step 6: Initialize the project

Once the dependencies are installed, you will be prompted to initialize the project. Type y and press Enter to initialize the project.

Step 7: Set up the database

You will be asked to set up the database. You can choose to use a default database configuration or customize it. For a basic setup, you can choose the default configuration by typing n and pressing Enter.

Step 8: Start the server

Once the project is set up, you can start the server by running the following command:

bin/cake server

This will start the CakePHP server and you can access your project by visiting http://localhost:8765 in your web browser.

That's it! You now have a new CakePHP 3 project set up using Composer.
