'Symfony: command not found

I am trying working with symfony since past couple of months. Last night I did an auto remove to purge not needed repositories. After that I have not been able to create a new symfony project using the symfony command. When I run Symfony new SecurityDemo 2.8.1 in the terminal, I get the error

Symfony: command not found

I tried installing the Symfony Installer again as directed in the documentation http://symfony.com/doc/current/setup.html. I went to my root directory and followed the installation procedure as shown in the screenshot

Still I get the same error.

All help is appreciated.

EDIT:

I am working with LAMP and am using PHP 5.6.

When I try to update the symfony Installer using symfony self-update I get the output

// Symfony Installer is already updated to the latest version (1.5.8).

symfony symfony-console

Add the following line to your shell configuration file:

export PATH="$HOME/.symfony/bin:$PATH"

For me the fix was to reinstall symfony:

curl -sS https://get.symfony.com/cli/installer | bash

see here https://symfony.com/download

as far as I experienced, it does not tamper with the environment.

Try call Symfony it in lowercase as example:

>symfony new SecurityDemo 2.8.1

Hope this help

I had the same problem. The right command would be:

php symfony new SecurityDemo 2.8.1

Not sure why it would not work without the word php even though the documentation does not prescribe it.

Solution 5:^[5]

cd your-project/
composer require symfony/web-server-bundle --dev
php bin/console server:start

Working beautifully for me on Fedora 33 Workstation

base: https://symfony.com/doc/4.0/setup/built_in_web_server.html

Solution 6:^[6]

Turns out that I cannot use capital 'S' in symfony. using symfony new project_name did the trick.

Solution 7:^[7]

The Right Command is

symfony new SecurityDemo 2.8.1

Solution 8:^[8]

If you can’t use the Symfony installer for any reason, you can create Symfony applications with Composer, the dependency manager used by modern PHP applications.

composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition SecurityDemo "2.8.1"

make sure you've already install composer.

Solution 9:^[9]

try this

composer require symfony/flex
composer install
