之前写过一篇win7下安装Yii2的文章 win7系统下安装yii2步奏 ，其实在mac和liunx下安装都大同小异的，很多人会问怎么又写了一遍呢，这不因为换mac了嘛，哈哈（其实是从新整理和总结一下）。

建议大家学习Yii2时用composer（若是不会的可以单独去学习）, php5.4以上，低了自己升级吧

安装

1、composer安装完后执行下面语句，之后就耐心等待，会很长时间

composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced yii-application

注：yii-application 是你网站的目录你可以自定义，这个目录会自动创建的。 2、打开终端执行init命令，并选择dev环境

/path/to/php-bin/php /path/to/yii-application/init

3、创建一个数据库，并修改common/config/main-config.php 的 common[‘db’]配置 4、打开控制台，执行命令，创建数据库。

/path/to/php-bin/php /path/to/yii-application/yii migrate

5、配置nginx的web文件的访问路径

前台：/path/to/yii-application/frontend/web/
后台：/path/to/yii-application/backend/web/

6、nginx配置文件

server {
charset utf-8;
client_max_body_size 128M;
 
listen 80; ## listen for ipv4
#listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6
 
server_name frontend.viphper.com;
root /path/to/yii-application/frontend/web/;
index index.php;
 
access_log /path/to/yii-application/log/frontend-access.log;
error_log /path/to/yii-application/log/frontend-error.log;
 
location / {
# Redirect everything that isn't a real file to index.php
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
 
# uncomment to avoid processing of calls to non-existing static files by Yii
#location ~ \.(js|css|png|jpg|gif|swf|ico|pdf|mov|fla|zip|rar)$ {
# try_files $uri =404;
#}
#error_page 404 /404.html;
 
# deny accessing php files for the /assets directory
location ~ ^/assets/.*\.php$ {
deny all;
}
 
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
#fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
try_files $uri =404;
}

location ~* /\. {
deny all;
}
}

server {
charset utf-8;
client_max_body_size 128M;

listen 80; ## listen for ipv4
#listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

server_name backend.viphper.com;
root /path/to/yii-application/backend/web/;
index index.php;

access_log /path/to/yii-application/log/backend-access.log;
error_log /path/to/yii-application/log/backend-error.log;

location / {
# Redirect everything that isn't a real file to index.php
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}

# uncomment to avoid processing of calls to non-existing static files by Yii
#location ~ \.(js|css|png|jpg|gif|swf|ico|pdf|mov|fla|zip|rar)$ {
# try_files $uri =404;
#}
#error_page 404 /404.html;
 
# deny accessing php files for the /assets directory
location ~ ^/assets/.*\.php$ {
deny all;
}
 
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
#fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
try_files $uri =404;
}

location ~* /\. {
deny all;
}
}

7、配置相应的hosts，然后浏览器直接访问 http://frontend.viphper.com，直接可以访问。
