Here's my problem :

When I try to create a symfony project with 'composer create-project symfony/skeleton project-name' (or website-skeleton) I got this error telling me I don't have .env-file

Executing script cache:clear [KO]

Script cache:clear returned with error code 255

Script @auto-scripts was called via post-update-cmd

But with symfony/symfony-demo the cache:clear works

Run composer recipes at any time to see the status of your Symfony recipes.

Potential causes:

 - A typo in the package name

 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting

   see <https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability> for more details.

 - It's a private package and you forgot to add a custom repository to find it

I follow the tuto on getcomposer.org but when I do this command :

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --check

I get

All settings correct for using Composer

My Answer:
Symfony/skeleton is a lightweight Symfony application that serves as a starting point for building Symfony applications. It provides a basic structure and configuration for a Symfony project, allowing developers to quickly get started with building their application.

To create a new Symfony project using the Symfony/skeleton, you can use Composer to create a new project and require the Symfony/skeleton package. Here's how you can do it:

1. Install Composer if you haven't already: https://getcomposer.org/download/

2. Create a new Symfony project using the Symfony/skeleton package:

composer create-project symfony/skeleton my_project_name


3. Change into the newly created project directory:

cd my_project_name


4. Start the Symfony development server:

php bin/console server:run


You can now access your Symfony application in your web browser at http://localhost:8000.

From here, you can start building your Symfony application by creating controllers, routes, templates, and more. The Symfony/skeleton provides a solid foundation for building Symfony applications and allows you to easily customize and extend it to fit your project's needs.
