In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing CoreShop on Arch Linux. CoreShop is an e-commerce platform that is built on top of the Symfony PHP framework.
Before we start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to download the CoreShop code from their website. You can do this using the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/coreshop/CoreShop.git
This will create a folder named CoreShop in your current directory with all the necessary code.
After downloading the code, navigate to the CoreShop directory using the following command:
cd CoreShop
Now we need to install all the required dependencies. We can do this using Composer.
composer install
This command will install all the required dependencies in the vendor folder.
CoreShop requires a database to store all its data. You can either use MySQL or PostgreSQL. For this tutorial, we will use MySQL.
First, create a new database using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
This will prompt you for the root password. After entering the password, you will get a prompt to enter MySQL commands. Enter the following commands to create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE coreshop;
After creating the database, you need to configure CoreShop to use the database. Open the .env file in the root directory of the project and edit the database settings:
DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:password@localhost/coreshop
Replace password with the password for the root user of MySQL.
Now that we have everything set up, we can install CoreShop using the following command in the root directory of your project:
php bin/console coreshop:install
This command will install all the necessary tables in your database and will set up your e-commerce platform.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install CoreShop on Arch Linux. By following these steps, you will have a working e-commerce platform up and running on your machine.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
