Installing Symfony 4 (3.4.0-BETA1)

I wanted to install the Symfony 4 beta to play with the new features. While I was able to get most of it working, but was facing issues due to package dependency when trying to install some common bundles. I then settled with the 3.4 branch, which has the exact same functionalities except for some backward compatibility.

Here are the steps to get the framework up & running with the most used bundles:

 1composer create-project symfony/skeleton symfony "3.4.0-BETA1"
 2cd symfony/
 3composer req web-server "3.4.0-BETA1"
 4composer req annotations
 5composer req orm
 6composer req annotations
 7composer req doctrine-migrations
 8composer req debug "3.4.0-BETA1"
 9composer req log
10composer req profiler
11composer req security "3.4.0-BETA1"
12composer req mailer
13composer req validation "3.4.0-BETA1"
14composer req encore
15composer req twig-extensions
16composer req serialization "3.4.0-BETA1"
17composer require friendsofsymfony/rest-bundle
18composer require stof/doctrine-extensions-bundle

Once the installation is done, you can start the application using the web server and it should be running.
