Beware that the first time you install Symfony2, it may take a few minutes to
3737
download all its components. At the end of the installation process, the
38-
installer will ask you to provide some configuration options for the Symfony2
39-
project. For this first project you can safely ignore this configuration by
40-
pressing the ``<Enter>`` key repeatedly.
38+
installer will ask you four questions:
39+
40+
1. **Would you like to use Symfony 3 directory structure? [y/N]** The upcoming
41+
Symfony 3 version will modify the default directory structure for Symfony
42+
applications. If you want to test drive this new structure, type ``y``.
43+
In order to follow this tutorial, press the ``<Enter>`` key to accept the
44+
default ``N`` value and to keep using the default Symfony2 structure.
45+
2. **Would you like to install Acme demo bundle? [y/N]** Symfony versions prior
46+
to 2.5 included a demo application to test drive some features of the
47+
framework. However, as this demo application is only useful for newcomers,
48+
installing it is now optional. In order to follow this tutorial, type the
49+
``y`` key to install the demo application.
50+
3. **Some parameters are missing. Please provide them.** Symfony2 asks you for
51+
the value of all the configuration parameters. For this first project,
52+
you can safely ignore this configuration by pressing the ``<Enter>`` key
53+
repeatedly.
54+
4. **Do you want to remove the existing VCS (.git, .svn..) history? [Y,n]?**
55+
The development history of large projects such as Symfony can take a lot of
56+
disk space. Press the ``<Enter>`` key to safely remove all this history data.
