Drupal Commerce is an open-source eCommerce framework built on top of the Drupal CMS platform. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Drupal Commerce on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following:
It is important to update your system to the latest packages before installing any new software. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
The system will prompt you to enter your user password. Once you enter it, it will start downloading and installing the updates.
Before installing Drupal Commerce, we need to install some required packages. To install them, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S php php-gd php-intl php-pgsql postgresql apache
This will install PHP and PHP extensions required for Drupal Commerce to run, Postgresql to store the data, and Apache webserver to serve the files.
After installing the required packages, we need to configure PHP and Postgresql to work with Drupal Commerce. To do this, follow the instructions below.
Open the php.ini file in your favorite text editor as follows:
sudo nano /etc/php/php.ini
Uncomment the following line by removing the semicolon (;):
;extension=gd
Save and exit the file.
Open the pg_hba.conf file in your favorite text editor as follows:
sudo nano /var/lib/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf
Replace the following line:
#host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident
with:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
Save and exit the file.
Now that we have completed the prerequisites and required configurations, we are ready to install Drupal Commerce. To install Drupal Commerce, follow the instructions below.
Download the latest version of Drupal Commerce from the official website as follows:
wget https://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/commerce-8.x-2.23.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded file in the Apache web server root directory as follows:
sudo tar -xzf commerce-8.x-2.23.tar.gz -C /srv/http/
Rename the extracted directory to a more meaningful name, such as "commerce":
sudo mv /srv/http/commerce-8.x-2.23/ /srv/http/commerce
Create a new virtual host for Drupal Commerce as follows:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Add the following configuration to the end of the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "/srv/http/commerce"
ServerName drupalcommerce.local
<Directory "/srv/http/commerce">

Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/drupalcommerce-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/drupalcommerce-access_log" combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and exit the file.
Add the following line to the /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 drupalcommerce.local
Start the Apache web server and the Postgresql service as follows:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl start postgresql
Open a web browser and navigate to http://drupalcommerce.local. The Drupal Commerce installation wizard will be displayed.
Follow the instructions in the wizard to install Drupal Commerce on your system.
