1. Enter the PHP container
--------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
host> ./shell.sh
.. seealso:: :ref:`tutorial_work_inside_the_php_container`
2. Create new vhost directory
-----------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd $ mkdir my-yii
3. Install Yii2 via ``composer``
--------------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd $ cd my-yii
devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-yii $ composer create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-basic yii2-dev

If you do not have :ref:`global_configuration_auto_dns` configured, you will need to add the
following line to your host operating systems ``/etc/hosts`` file
(or ``C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc`` on Windows):
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: /etc/hosts
:name: /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 my-yii.loc
