# Pattern Lab Standard Edition for Twig [BETA]
The Standard Edition for Twig gives developers and designers a clean base from which to develop Twig-based patterns.
## Installing the Standard Edition for Twig
### 1. Install Composer
Pattern Lab uses [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to manage project dependencies. To install Composer type the following two lines in the command line:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=bin
Then close and re-open your command line terminal.
### 2. Install the Standard Edition
Use Composer's `create-project` feature to install the Standard Edition into a location of your choosing. Type:
cd install/location/
composer create-project pattern-lab/edition-twig-standard your-project-name && cd $_
This will create a directory called `your-project-name`.
### 3. Install a StarterKit
To install a near-empty StarterKit project as a starting point you can run:
php core/console --starterkit --init
### 4. Generate Pattern Lab
To generate Pattern Lab for the first time and make sure everything was installed correctly type:
php core/console --generate
To list all available commands type:
php core/console --help
### 5. Start the server to see your Pattern Lab web site
You can use PHP's built-in web server to review your Pattern Lab project in a browser. In a new terminal window type:
php core/console --server
And then visit [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080)
