How to install Yii2 Starter Kit via composer?

Question

Yii

Hello, I started to study Yii2, I got used to learning something new by poking around in a ready-made application + documentation, I came across Yii2 Starter Kit , it’s not clear how to install it, do you need a hosting console for this? how to install on shared hosting? Or does it need to be deployed locally first?

How to install Yii2 Starter Kit via composer?
It's simple:
1) Install Linux on your computer and read.read.read.read.read about bash, root, commands, etc.
2) Set up the environment: Apache, Php, etc.
3) Install Composer
4) Install Git.
5) Install Yii2.
That's all. This will give you a broad understanding of how the console, SSH, and frameworks work.
Without these basic skills, Yii is not even worth poking around. For soon I will start to beat such programmers at interviews!
Yii2 is not for you to pull templates on joomla!

Well, what hosting in 2015? Start using VDS already and there will be no problems with the console.
For installation:
As a last resort, in the style of the 90s, you can download and upload via FTP.
