Welcome Developers!

Zend SDK includes a variety of tools that help you create, develop, publish and discover PHP Web applications. If you are new to the Zend SDK, please read an overview of how to set up the environment. If you're already using the Zend SDK, you should update to the latest one.

* - 'Zend Application Deployment Tools' also available as Eclipse Plugin

The "Hello, World" example below shows how to launch your first application with Zend SDK command line:

# clone an example project from a git repository
$ zend clone project -r https://ganoro@github.com/ganoro/ExampleProject.git

# define a target environment to host your application
$ zend add target -d <account-name>:<account-password>

# set working directory
$ cd ExampleProject

# deploy the newly created application to the defined target
$ zend deploy application 

In more details, we start by cloning an example project with the name 'ExampleProject' from a git repository (GitHub) and adding a target to host the application (alternatively detect your localhost target). This results in a fully deploy-able project, which includes a basic hello world Web interface along with basic deployment and manifest scripts which will be used for the deployment process.

The last command triggers the deployment process which deploys the application to the target.
