3. Download the vendor libraries via Composer:

You will be asked for your database credentials at the end, which save into the app/config/parameters.yml file.

php app/console doctrine:database:create
php app/console doctrine:schema:create
php app/console doctrine:fixtures:load

5. Start the built-in PHP web server:

php app/console server:run

6. Load up the app in your browser!
