Mailchimp Open Commerce is an open-source e-commerce platform that powers online stores with its robust features, including payment processing, product management, and order management. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Mailchimp Open Commerce on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we begin, ensure that your system meets the following minimum requirements:
Additionally, make sure that you have administrative privileges to perform the installation on your system.
First, we need to ensure that our system has all the necessary packages installed. Run the following command in terminal:
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install unzip wget httpd mariadb-server php php-json php-mbstring php-mysqlnd php-opcache php-zip
This command updates the system and installs essential packages required to run Mailchimp Open Commerce.
In this step, we will download the Mailchimp Open Commerce package and extract it to the /var/www/html directory. Run the following command:
sudo wget https://github.com/mailchimp/mcsv-open-commerce/releases/download/v1.0.0/mcsv-open-commerce.zip
sudo unzip mcsv-open-commerce.zip -d /var/www/html/
This command downloads the Mailchimp Open Commerce package from GitHub and extracts it to the /var/www/html directory, which is the web server root directory.
We need to set the appropriate permissions for Open Commerce to work correctly. Execute the following commands:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/mcsv-open-commerce
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/mcsv-open-commerce
These commands change the ownership of the Open Commerce directory to the web server user and group, Apache. We also make sure that the directory has the correct permissions.
Now, we need to create a database for Open Commerce. Run the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
This command opens the MariaDB/MySQL CLI prompt. Enter the root password when prompted.
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE opencommercedb;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON opencommercedb.* TO 'opencommerce'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB [(none)]> exit;
These MariaDB/MySQL commands create a new database named "opencommercedb," and a new user named "opencommerce" with the password "password." The user is granted all privileges for the opencommercedb database.
Open Commerce requires configuration before we can use it. Go to the /var/www/html/mcsv-open-commerce directory and rename the .env.example file to .env.
cd /var/www/html/mcsv-open-commerce
mv .env.example .env
Now, edit the .env file and change the following variables:
APP_URL=http://yourdomain.com
DB_DATABASE=opencommercedb
DB_USERNAME=opencommerce
DB_PASSWORD=password
These variables specify the application URL and the database credentials created in the previous steps. Make sure to replace the values with your domain name and database credentials.
Finally, we need to run the migration command to create the tables in the database. Go to the /var/www/html/mcsv-open-commerce directory and run the following command:
php artisan migrate
This command executes the migration script that creates the Open Commerce tables in the database.
At this point, you have successfully installed and configured Mailchimp Open Commerce on your Fedora Server. You can now access the web interface by visiting http://yourdomain.com in your web browser.
In conclusion, Mailchimp Open Commerce is a versatile open-source e-commerce platform that provides numerous features to manage your online store. By following this tutorial, you can easily install and configure Open Commerce on Fedora Server latest.
