How to run yii2 application?

Question

Yii

We threw off the application dump (yii2 advanced) + the database in which the layout needs to be corrected
How to run the finished application locally, provided that there is php + composer. Ran `composer install` - something seems to be installed from .lock file
When you run 'php yii serve' it says Document root .....console/web" does not exist.
All articles in google boil down to how to install everything from scratch, and how to continue the development of a word.

Answer 1

Goodnight.
In the console, you need to specify the path to the document root of the project. For example: But it is not clear why you need to launch the project this way?

Answer 2

Yes, you also need to run ./init.

Init will create the necessary configs for the local environment and they will need to be tweaked to suit your needs.
Also, you have a db. If it's not sqlite, then 'php serve' is no good. It looks like I'll have to install something extra for local development - xamp, mamp, vagrant or something like that.
