This tutorial will guide you through step-by-step instructions on how to install PrestaShop on Clear Linux. PrestaShop is an open-source ecommerce platform that allows users to create online stores that are easy to set up and customize.
First, visit the official website of PrestaShop at https://www.prestashop.com/ and download the latest version of PrestaShop. You can either download the package manually, or use the following command in the terminal to download the package:
wget https://www.prestashop.com/download/latest -O /tmp/prestashop.zip
This command downloads the latest version of PrestaShop to the /tmp directory as a zip file.
Next, navigate to the /var/www/ directory using the terminal and extract the package by running the following command:
sudo unzip /tmp/prestashop.zip -d /var/www/
This command extracts the PrestaShop package to the /var/www/ directory.
After extracting the package, you need to set permissions for the PrestaShop files. Run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/prestashop/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/prestashop/
These commands set the owner and permissions for the PrestaShop files.
Before you can start the installation process, you need to create a MySQL database and user. Run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo mysql -u root -p
This command opens the MySQL shell. Enter your root password when prompted.
Next, create a database by running the following command:
CREATE DATABASE prestashopdb;
This command creates a database named "prestashopdb."
Next, create a user by running the following command:
CREATE USER 'prestashopuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
This command creates a user named "prestashopuser" with the password "password."
Finally, grant privileges to the user on the database by running the following command:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON prestashopdb.* TO 'prestashopuser'@'localhost';
This command grants all privileges to the "prestashopuser" user on the "prestashopdb" database.
After creating the database and user, you can start the PrestaShop installation process. Open your web browser and navigate to http://your-server-IP/prestashop/
