Aimeos is an open-source e-commerce platform that is built using PHP. It can be integrated into any website, and it supports numerous payment gateways, shipping providers, and content management systems. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Aimeos on EndeavourOS's latest version.
Before proceeding with the installation of Aimeos on EndeavourOS, update your system by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Aimeos is built using PHP, which is a server-side scripting language. You will need a web server to host your Aimeos website. In this tutorial, we will use Apache:
sudo pacman -S apache
Once installed, start the Apache web server service:
sudo systemctl start httpd
Aimeos is built using PHP. Install PHP and required extensions by running:
sudo pacman -S php php-apache
Aimeos requires a database to store its data. In this tutorial, we will use MariaDB:
sudo pacman -S mariadb
Once installed, start the MariaDB service:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
Create a new database and user for Aimeos:
mysql -u root -p
Enter the MariaDB root password.
CREATE DATABASE aimeos;
CREATE USER 'aimeosuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'aimeospass';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON aimeos.* TO 'aimeosuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Composer is a package manager for PHP. Installing Composer will help you manage the dependencies that Aimeos requires. To install Composer, run:
sudo pacman -S composer
Download and install Aimeos by running:
cd /var/www/html
sudo composer create-project aimeos/aimeos aimeos
This command will create a new directory, "aimeos," in your Apache web server's document root, which should be "/var/www/html/" by default.
To configure Aimeos to work as a web application, you must set up a virtual host. Create a new configuration file by running:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/aimeos.conf
Add the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/aimeos/public"
ServerName your-domain.com
<Directory "/var/www/html/aimeos/public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and exit the configuration file.
Enable the new virtual host by running:
sudo a2ensite aimeos.conf
Restart the Apache web server service:
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
You have successfully installed and configured Aimeos on EndeavourOS Latest. Access the Aimeos web interface by opening your web browser and entering your server's IP address or domain name:
http://your-domain.com/
You should now see the Aimeos web interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Aimeos on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now begin using Aimeos to create and manage your e-commerce 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!
