I'm stuck at the first step of the Zend Framework 2 Getting Started guide.

My steps:

  • I downloaded end extracted the newest version of composer to c:/xampp/composer/composer.phar
  • I ran php composer.phar self-update just in case.
  • I ran php composer.phar create-project --repository-url="http://packages.zendframework.com" zendframework/skeleton-application ../htdocs/zf2-tutorial like it is stated in the guide.

This is where I get this error message:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'proc_open(): CreateProcess failed, error code - 0' in phar://C:/xampp/htdocs/ZendSkeletonApplication/composer.phar/vendor/symfony/console/Symfony/Component/Console/Application.php on line 1013

I will add the full call Stack in the end of the question.

What I aready tried:

My setup:

  • Windows 8
  • PHP 5.4.4
  • Composer version d017e3f2096dda7194600a76bc7328808811c8da
  • Server version: Apache/2.4.2 (Win32)

My questions:

  • Any suggestions to how to solve this problem?
  • Can I install ZF2 without using composer?

    Yes you can install ZF2 without composer. Just download the framework from https://packages.zendframework.com/ and you can download an example skeleton application to help you get started from https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication. As for the rest of your issues, I'm uncertain as I refuse to use composer =) – Diemuzi Aug 19 '13 at 16:38
  • Thanks, it's also a nice solution. I usually prefer manual installation, because it gives you better insight into your packages and file structures. Although, this time it appeared easier to let git manage the dependencies with the --recursive option – Jen-Ya Aug 19 '13 at 16:52

Surprisingly, it was much easier than I thought:

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

It installed the framework under ./vendor/ZF2/.
