Steve Francia has posted a follow-up to his "On Symfony2" post to his blog today with an introduction to the framework that helps you get everything installed you'll need.

In a follow up to my popular post on Symfony2, the open source PHP framework we use at OpenSky, I'm providing an easy guide to getting started using Symfony2. This isn’t your basic "Hello World", but a practical guide to beginning a project with Symfony2.

He walks you through bootstrapping a sample application, applying a fix those on OSX might need and creating the application using the symfony command line tool to build everything you'll need.
