Installing CakePHP3
If you don't have intl installed, you might have trouble installing CakePHP3 itself. You can install it with zip file, or with composer by changing configuration.
Installing with zip file
Download a release of CakePHP (cakephp-3-x-y.zip), and extract it. Set suitable permissions on your logs directory, tmp directory and its subdirectories.
Installing with composer
Execute the following command to pretend you have intl extension.
After that, you can execute create-project.
Installing Intlless plugin
After installing CakePHP3, let's install Intlless plugin.
Installing with zip file
Download a release of Intlless plugin (Source code). After extracting it, put it into your plugins directory, as "Intlless".
Installing with git
If you want to install with git, execute the following command in your plugins directory.
Installing with composer
Execute the following command if you have not done it yet.
After that, you can install the plugin by the following command.
Setting up Intlless plugin
Once you put this plugin, you need to load it in your config/bootstrap.php, but it would be better to do it near the front part of the file as much as possible.
Because it is necessary to replace Cake\I18n-namespaced classes before the original classes loaded. Normally, it is best to do it just after loading config/app.php.
Note that the boostrap option and the autoload option are set to true in the above example.
Since Intlless plugin needs to execute bootstrapping to replace Cake\I18n-namespaced classes,
and if you have installed it with zip, it is necessary to use the autoloading feature of CakePHP.
Even if you have installed it with composer, make sure to set the bootstrap option to true.
In addition, you need to modify some code in your application. First, find a line where an error is thrown if intl extension is not loaded, and comment it out.
If useLocaleParser() call is found in your config/bootstrap.php, also comment it out.
Intlless plugin doesn't support the feature.
Installation is end with this. You will see your application works relatively well without intl extension.

Note that, CakePHP earlier than version 3.2, Cake\Chronos\MutableTime will be an alias of Carbon instead.
Cake\I18n\FrozenTime will be undeclared.
