1. Use the following command to get Extensions up to date:

   git submodule init git submodule update

2. Follow normal updating procedure below from step 2.

Follow the instructions below if you are updating from Symphony version 2.0 (non Git)

Note: As of 2.0.6, there is no longer a need to backup /symphony/.htaccess.

1. Upload /symphony, index.php & update.php, replacing what is already on your server.

2. Go to http://yoursite.com/update.php to complete the update process.

3. Celebrate by shaving your friend's head for charity!

1. Clone the git repository to the location you desire using:

    git clone git://github.com/symphony/symphony-2.git
   

   Should you wish to make contributions back to the project, fork the master tree rather than cloning, and issue pull requests via github.

   The following repositories are included as submodules:

   • Markdown
   • Maintenance Mode
   • Select Box Link Field
   • JIT Image Manipulation
   • Export Ensemble
   • Debug DevKit
   • Profile DevKit

2. Run the following command to ensure the submodules are cloned:

    git submodule update --init
   

3. (Optional) If you would like the default theme installed as well, you will need to use the following command from within the Symphony 2 folder you just created:

    git clone git://github.com/symphony/workspace.git
   

4. Follow normal installation procedure below from step 2.

Note: You can leave /workspace out if you do not want the default theme.

1. This step assumes you downloaded a zip archive from the Symphony website. Upload the following files and directories to the root directory of your website:

   • index.php
   • install.php
   • /symphony
   • /workspace
   • /extensions

2. Point your web browser at http://yourwebsite.com/install.php and provide details for establishing a database connection and about your server environment.

3. Jump with both arms up like you're in a car commercial!

Secure Production Sites: Change permissions and remove installer files.

1. For a smooth install process, change permissions for the root, symphony and workspace directories.

    cd /your/site/root
    chmod 777 symphony .
    chmod -R 777 workspace
   

2. Once successfully installed, change permissions as per your server preferences:

    chmod 755 symphony .
   

3. Remove installer files (unless you're fine with revealing all your trade secrets):

    rm install.php install.sql workspace/install.sql update.php
   

4. Dance like it's 1999!
