Question: i used to to use composer to create a new symfony project like so

```
composer create-project symfony/symfony-standard-edition SymfonyProjectDir 2.5.*

```

but know when i want to use the symfony installer i use the command

```
symfony new SymfonyProjectDir 2.5.*

```

or

```
symfony new SymfonyProjectDir 2.5

```

but i get this error

```
  [RuntimeException]                                                 
  The Symfony version should be 2.N.M, where N = 0..9 and M = 0..99  

new directory [version]

```

how can i tel that i want to use the version 2.5 including the last updates from symfony like i used to with composer?

Answer: 
You can try this, it worked for me:

[Symfony Installation and Project Creation](http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/installation.html)

Or just open command line and execute these commands:

```
sudo curl -LsS http://symfony.com/installer -o /usr/local/bin/symfony
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/symfony
symfony new SymfonyProjectDir 2.5

```

Please try with it:

```
composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition SymfonyProjectDir/ 3.0.7

```

It should work. Maybe your forgot the last slash...
