[...]The setup script prompts for some configuration settings, for example the lines below:
Please select which config file you wish to inject 'Laminas\Diactoros\ConfigProvider' into:
[0] Do not inject
[1] config/config.php
Make your selection (default is 1):Type 0 to select [0] Do not inject.
We choose
0because Dotkernel includes its own ConfigProvider which already contains the prompted configurations. If you choose[1] config/config.php, an extraConfigProviderwill be injected.
