# Create Projects
|
|
|
|
You can use Composer to create new projects from an existing package. There are several applications for this:
|
|
|
|
1. You can deploy application packages.
|
|
2. You can check out any package and start developing on patches for example.
|
|
3. Projects with multiple developers can use this feature to bootstrap the initial application for development.
|
|
|
|
To create a new project using composer you can use the "create-project", pass it a package name + version and a directory to create the project in. The directory is not allowed to exist, it will be created during installation.
|
|
|
|
php composer.phar create-project doctrine/orm 2.2.0 /path/to/new-project
|
|
|
|
By default the command checks for the packages on packagist.org. To change this behavior you can use the --repository-url parameter and either point it to an HTTP url for your own packagist repository or to a packages.json file.
|
|
|
|
If you want to get a development version of the code directly checked out from version control you have to add the --prefer-source parameter.
