Aimeos is an open-source e-commerce platform that is designed for scalability, performance, and flexibility. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Aimeos on your Fedora Server latest.
Before we start with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the required packages for Aimeos. You can use the dnf package manager to install the necessary packages by running the following command:
sudo dnf install -y git curl unzip npm php php-common php-cli php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-curl php-gd php-json php-intl php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-opcache php-xmlrpc php-zip
Aimeos requires Composer to be installed. Composer is a package manager for PHP that allows you to manage dependencies and libraries for your projects.
To install Composer, run the following command:
sudo curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
This downloads the installer script and runs it with PHP.
Then, to make Composer globally accessible, move the composer.phar file to the /usr/local/bin directory:
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
After that, run the following command to check that the installation was successful:
composer
Now we will install Aimeos. Run the following commands to clone the Aimeos repository and install the dependencies:
cd /var/www
sudo git clone https://github.com/aimeos/aimeos-laravel.git
cd aimeos-laravel
sudo composer install
When the installation completes, copy the example .env file to a new .env file:
sudo cp .env.example .env
Next, generate a new encryption key:
sudo php artisan key:generate
Aimeos requires a MySQL database to work. You can create a new database and user for Aimeos.
Log in to the MySQL shell:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the root password when prompted.
Create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE aimeosdb;
Create a new user and grant privileges to the user:
CREATE USER 'aimeosuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON aimeosdb.* TO 'aimeosuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit the MySQL shell:
exit
Now update the .env file with the database details:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=aimeosdb
DB_USERNAME=aimeosuser
DB_PASSWORD=password
Next, you need to configure your web server to serve the Aimeos application. Here we will show how to configure Aimeos with the Apache web server.
Create a new Apache virtual host configuration for Aimeos:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/aimeos.conf
Add the following lines to the aimeos.conf file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/aimeos-laravel/public
<Directory /var/www/aimeos-laravel/public>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace example.com with your domain name or server IP address.
Save and close the file.
Finally, restart the Apache service:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now you can access the Aimeos installation page by entering your domain name or server IP address into your web browser.
You should see the Aimeos installation page. Follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Aimeos on your Fedora Server latest.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Aimeos on Fedora Server latest. Aimeos is a powerful e-commerce platform that gives you a flexible and scalable solution for your online store.
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!
