How to Install Vendure on EndeavourOS Latest

Vendure is an open-source e-commerce platform built on TypeScript and Node.js. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Vendure on EndeavourOS latest using the command-line interface.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, you need to ensure that the following requirements are met:

• You have a running instance of EndeavourOS latest.
• You have a user account with sudo privileges.
• You have Node.js and NPM installed on your system.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing Vendure, we need to install some dependencies on our system. To do that, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git postgresql redis

Step 2: Clone the Vendure Repository

Next, we need to clone the Vendure repository from GitHub. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/vendure-ecommerce/vendure.git
cd vendure

Step 3: Install Vendure

Now that we have cloned the repository, we can install Vendure using NPM. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:

npm install

Step 4: Configure Vendure

Before running Vendure, we need to configure it. To do that, we need to copy the default configuration file and make some changes to it. Run the following commands in your terminal:

cp ./src/config/vendure-config.example.ts ./src/config/vendure-config.ts
nano ./src/config/vendure-config.ts

Edit the file and replace the database configuration and the default administrator's information with the values you want to use.

export const config: VendureConfig = {
   dbConnectionOptions: {
       type: process.env.DB_TYPE as any || 'postgres',
       synchronize: process.env.DB_SYNC as any || true,
       logging: process.env.DB_LOGGING as any || false,
       database: process.env.DB_NAME || 'vendure',
       host: process.env.DB_HOST || 'localhost',
       port: process.env.DB_PORT as any || 5432,
       username: process.env.DB_USERNAME || 'vendure',
       password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD || 'vendure',
   },
   authOptions: {
       // ...
   },
   // ...
};

Step 5: Start the Server

Now that we have configured Vendure, we can start the server using NPM. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:

npm run start

This will start the server and make it available at http://localhost:3000/shop. You should see the Vendure storefront when you navigate to the URL.

Step 6: Create an Administrator Account

Now that the server is running, we need to create an administrator account to manage the Vendure store. To do that, run the following command:

npm run bootstrap && npm run cli -- -- init --email=admin@example.com --password=admin

This will create an administrator account with the email admin@example.com and the password admin. You can change these values as per your requirements.

Conclusion

Vendure is now installed and configured on your EndeavourOS latest system. You can now start building your e-commerce store using Vendure.
