Please, take a look at this comparison between the current installer and an example of how we could improve it:\r\n\r\n**Current installer**:\r\n\r\n![current_symfony_installation](https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/73419/2110249/bb83998a-8fff-11e3-876f-f03b7ca8742a.gif)\r\n\r\n**Proposed installer**:\r\n\r\n![proposed_symfony_installation](https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/73419/2110252/bfbff700-8fff-11e3-8213-818243897e58.gif)\r\n\r\n**Why is this important?**\r\n\r\nRegardless of the type of user (new or advanced), the installation process should be fast, easy to understand and \"frictionless\" (no unnecesary questions, no involved steps, etc.)\r\n\r\n**Which are the bad things about the current installation?**\r\n\r\n  * It's slow (I don't know if we should blame Composer, GitHub, Symfony or the Internet, but it's slow).\r\n  * It outputs a huge amount of useless information (again, this may be caused by Composer).\r\n  * At the end of the installation, it forces you to configure a lot of parameters. If you are a new user, this is weird; if you are an experienced user, you'll probably do this later.\r\n\r\n**How could we improve the installation process?**\r\n\r\n  * Should we create a custom Symfony installer? (e.g. `curl -sS https://symfony.com/installer | php`)\r\n  * Could we configure Composer to use a custom installer? (I don't know if Composer can be customized so much)\r\n  * Other options?\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/symfony/symfony-standard/issues/comments/112320625","html_url":"https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard/issues/622#issuecomment-112320625","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/symfony/symfony-standard/issues/622","id":112320625,"user":{"login":"Pierstoval","id":3369266,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3369266?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pierstoval","html_url":"https://github.com/Pierstoval","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pierstoval/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pierstoval/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pierstoval/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pierstoval/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pierstoval/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pierstoval/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pierstoval/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pierstoval/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Pierstoval/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-16T07:28:47Z","updated_at":"2015-06-16T07:28:47Z","body":"@c33s your demand is legit and makes sense to me, I think a small table in the downloads page can be useful if it lists all the latest versions of the current Symfony branches (2.3, 2.6 and 2.7) , simply by listing the files, I think it could be good :) "}}
