Create a database, which will be used only for the tests. You can duplicate the existing database or apply migrations:
cd tests
codeception/bin/yii migrate
Adjust the components['db'] configuration in tests/codeception/config/config-local.php.
Add the directory /var/www/yii/vendor/bin to your path.
Review all configuration and .yml files.
Start the webserver, e.g.:
php -S localhost:8080
Run the tests:
codecept run
