Step 1: Download BBITBlogBundle using composer

Add BBITBlogBundle in your composer.json:

        "eko/feedbundle":  "dev-master",
        "bbit/blog-bundle": "dev-master"

Now tell composer to download the bundles by running the command:

Composer will install the bbit/blog-bundle bundle to your project's vendor/BBIT directory.

Enable the bundle in the kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Knp\Bundle\MarkdownBundle\KnpMarkdownBundle(),
        new Eko\FeedBundle\EkoFeedBundle(),
        new BBIT\BlogBundle\BBITBlogBundle(),
    );
}

Step 3: Config

bbit_blog:
    extend_template: 'AcmeWebsiteBundle:Default:layout.html.twig' #should contain a block called 'blogContent'
    disqus_shortname: 'AcmeBlog'
    addthis_pubid: 'ra-55cxxxxxxxxx648'
    btn_class: 'btn-buy hover-effect'
    eko_feed:
        feeds:
            post:

                description: 'Acme blog Feed Description'
                link:
                    route_name: bbit_blog_rss_view
