Answer 1

After you install the application, you have to conduct the following steps to initialize the installed application. You only need to do these once for all.

Execute the init command and select dev as environment.

php /path/to/yii-application/init

Create a new database and adjust the components.db configuration in common/config/main-local.php accordingly.

Apply migrations with console command:

yii migrate

or for windows:

php yii migrate

This command should create the table User,and Migration in your database

If yii migrate isn't working, you can also try php yii migrate as the yii command is just a PHP file that needs to be run.
