How to install Zend Framework 2.2 on Windows?

Question

I did my research, this is what I understand:

My problem is I can't find zf.bat inside bin (Yes, I did download zipball, using this link). There's no zf.bat, this is how my bin looks like:

enter image description here

My Question:

Did I download wrong zip? If so where can I get the right one? I've tried downloading all zips from zend website.

These questions were helpful to me:

There is no zf.bat in Zend Framework 2 (for now anyway), that's in Zend Framework 1.

You will want to download the skeleton application here: https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication

Also see: http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.2/en/user-guide/skeleton-application.html to see how they are using composer to setup a new project based on the skeleton, rather than using the old zf.bat.

You can also check out ZFTool which is a new utility for managing ZF2: https://github.com/zendframework/ZFTool

I installed Composer, runs fine from command line. But when I run `php composer.phar self-update` and `php composer.phar install`, it says `Could not open input file: composer.phar`. Am I missing anything? – Sushan Ghimire May 31 '13 at 00:08
if "php composer.phar" gives you that error, it either isn't installed right, or it isn't in your path. Either way, that's going to be a separate composer issue, not related to the Zend Framework zf.bat question. You may want to post that as a separate question. – jszobody May 31 '13 at 00:13

Easiest of all methods is to:

git clone git://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication.git --recursive

That's it.
