S-Cart is an open-source e-commerce platform that allows you to create an online store easily. In this tutorial, we will show how to install S-Cart on a Fedora server latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Before installing any new software, it is always recommended that you update your system packages to their latest versions. To update your Fedora server latest, run the following commands:
sudo dnf update
Enter your root password and wait for the update to complete.
S-Cart is built using PHP, so you need to install a LAMP stack on your server. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. To install LAMP, run the following command:
sudo dnf install @lamp-server
Enter 'y' to confirm the installation and wait for the installation to complete.
After installing a LAMP stack, you need to create a MySQL database and user for S-Cart. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password and press Enter. Then, create a new database for S-Cart:
CREATE DATABASE s_cart;
Next, create a new user and assign them access to the new database:
CREATE USER 's_cart_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON s_cart.* TO 's_cart_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'password' with a secure password of your choice.
Now that your system is up-to-date and the necessary backend components are installed, it's time to download and install S-Cart. To do this, run the following commands:
cd /var/www/html/
sudo wget https://github.com/s-cart/s-cart/releases/download/4.5.1/scart4_v4.5.1_full.zip
sudo unzip scart4_v4.5.1_full.zip
sudo mv scart4_v4.5.1_full s-cart
sudo chown -R apache:apache s-cart
sudo chmod -R 755 s-cart
Replace '4.5.1' with the latest version available on the S-Cart website.
Finally, you need to configure S-Cart before you can use it. To do this, open a Web browser and enter your server's IP address or hostname, followed by '/s-cart' in the address bar. For example:
http://127.0.0.1/s-cart
You should see the S-Cart installation wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure S-Cart. When prompted for a database, enter the following:
After completing the installation wizard, login to your new S-Cart installation with the default admin credentials:
Congratulations! You have successfully installed S-Cart on your Fedora server latest. You can now begin customizing your store and adding products. If you run into any issues, refer to the S-Cart documentation or contact their support team.
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!
