Read the instalation manual: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-start-installation.html. After it you should choose a basic template or advanced template.

In a short, basic template you use if your app it small and no have complex structure, like a institutional site, a gallery site that no have complex validation to login etc, other kind of project you should use advanced template. Read about the structure to understand about them.

Basically Yii it’s a widget/component framework.
