Hi, I am Sum-Wai, an Information Technologist based in Malaysia. This is where I share earth shattering programming tips, you should subscribe to my blog now. Yes, dooo it.
First download Yii from the Yiis download page on the website. Recommended to choose a stable version to start with. Uncompress the package somewhere comfy, lets just say your username is rajamal(I am using non English names for demo for a change!) and youve extracted it to the following example path
/home/rajamal/source/yii-1.1.5.r2654

rename the folder to just yii to make our life easier

mv yii-1.1.5.r2654 yii

sweet, our folder name is yii now, then we create a symlink in ~/bin directly so we can use yiic anywhere. Create a bin folder inside your home directory if it is not already created, and make sure the bin directory is added to $PATH.

Add this to .profile
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" fi

then inside of bin, create a symlink to yiic like this. (yiic help us do routine stuff like creating a new webapp or creating a new migration)
Good to know
ln -s /home/rajamal/source/yii/framework/yiic yiic
open up a new terminal window, now you can just use
yiic webapp yourappname
to create a new web application! (UPDATE: added step to include ~/bin into $PATH variable)

source ~/.profile It should come into effect after running it. If it does not work after a reboot or losing a bash session, add the command to ~/.bashrc file. Hope this helps!
