How do you install http symfony?

I'm trying to follow the course using my own text editor and database, but I'm having a lot of trouble understanding how to install the http symfony.

Is there a tutorial video someone could recommend? I tried going to the http symfony website, but there wasn't much there to help.

What is the benefit of using this package, anyway?

Thanks

um, she kinda glossed over this a little, but you add the dependency to composer (it's already there under require). Run 'composer install' and then include the vendor/autoload.php file in the bootstrap.php file. One or two of the earlier PHP courses include explanation of composer.

One of the course authors listed some benefits of the package at https://teamtreehouse.com/community/the-httpfoundation-component .
