Sylius is a modern eCommerce platform that is open-source and based on Symfony. It is easily customizable and can be integrated with third-party applications. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Sylius on Clear Linux.
Before you begin installing Sylius, it is recommended to update your system. You can do this by running the command below:
sudo swupd update
Next, install the required packages for Sylius. To do this, run the command below:
sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic php-mysqlnd php-curl php-gd php-intl php-json php-mbstring php-opcache php-xml php-zip mariadb-server
This command will install PHP, MariaDB, and other required packages.
Composer is a package manager for PHP that is required for installing Sylius. Run the following command to install Composer:
sudo curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/bin --filename=composer
To download and install Sylius, navigate to the directory where you want to install it and run the command:
sudo composer create-project sylius/sylius-standard my-project
This command will create a new Sylius project called "my-project."
You need to configure your database to use Sylius. Run the following commands to configure MariaDB:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your root password and run the following commands to create a new database, user, and grant privileges:
CREATE DATABASE sylius;
CREATE USER 'sylius'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON sylius.* TO 'sylius'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Replace "password" with your desired database password.
To configure Sylius to use your newly created database, navigate to your Sylius project directory and run the following commands:
cd my-project
cp .env.dist .env
Open the .env file and update the following lines with your database details:
DATABASE_DRIVER=pdo_mysql
DATABASE_HOST=127.0.0.1
DATABASE_PORT=3306
DATABASE_NAME=sylius
DATABASE_USER=sylius
DATABASE_PASSWORD=password
You can start a Symfony web server to run Sylius by running the following command:
bin/console server:start
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000. You should see the welcome page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Sylius on Clear Linux. You can now customize it to suit your needs and start building your eCommerce website.
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!
