Before starting the installation process, make sure you have the following:
To integrate Aimeos with your webserver, you need to have Apache Web Server installed on your system. You can install it using apt-get.

To install PHP and its required modules, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mcrypt php-mysql php-curl php-json php-gd php-intl php-mbstring php-xml
Aimeos is using MySQL/MariaDB for data storage, so you need to have a MySQL server installed on your system. You can install it using the following command:

Then, start the MySQL service:

sudo mkdir /var/www/html/aimeos
cd /var/www/html/aimeos
Now, download the Aimeos distribution package:
sudo wget https://get.aimeos.org/aimeos-core.zip
Unzip it:
sudo unzip aimeos-core.zip
And move it to /var/www/html:
sudo mv aimeos-*/* ./
Change the ownership of the web files to the user www-data so that Apache can access them properly:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/aimeos
Restart the Apache service:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
After the installation is complete, you can access the Aimeos installer by entering your server's IP address into a web browser.
For instance: http://[your_server_ip]/aimeos/setup
Follow the instructions and fill in the required details.
