+++ Installation Currently the only way you can install and use the sandbox is by svn. It is available by checking out the trunk of Doctrine. The sandbox comes loaded with generated models, sample schema files, data fixtures and a portable sqlite database to play with. svn co http://doctrine.pengus.net/svn/trunk doctrine_trunk cd doctrine_trunk/tools/sandbox chmod 0777 cli ./cli The above steps should give you a functioning sandbox. Execute the ./cli command without specifying a task will show you an index of all the available cli tasks in Doctrine.
