Cara Install Slim Framework and Write Your First "Hello World"

You want to create a simple Website but you don't want to start from scratch or a complex Framework ? You need to try Slim Framework

Installing Slim Framework would be much easier if we're using Composer.
Create a folder (your project folder) in your Web server (htdocs for apache users). for example we create "slim" . create a new file "composer.json" inside slim and type this : 
{
    "require": {         "slim/slim": "2.*"     } }
Open you terminal and make sure its under slim folder for example
root@AcerXtimeline:/opt/lampp/htdocs/slim#
now type : composer install or php composer.phar install (depending on how you install the composer). If you follow this Composer Install Tutorial, you just need the first option
 root@AcerXtimeline:/opt/lampp/htdocs/slim# composer install
You'll see the process
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev)
  - Installing slim/slim (2.4.3)
    Downloading: 100%         
Writing lock file
Generating autoload files

Once its done, create index.php and type : 
require "vendor/autoload.php";

$app = new \Slim\Slim();

$app->get("/",function(){

    echo "Hello World";
});

$app->run();

Also edit .htaccess file :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L] 

so you can now open it in Browser : 
http://localhost/slim
