In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing CoreShop on your Linux Mint Latest operating system. CoreShop is an ecommerce platform based on the Symfony framework, which allows you to create online stores and manage products, orders, and customers.
Before we start the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to download CoreShop. You can download the latest release from the official CoreShop website or GitHub page.
$ wget https://github.com/coreshop/CoreShop/releases/download/2.1.6/coreshop-2.1.6.tar.gz
After downloading the CoreShop release, extract the archive using the following command:
$ tar -zxvf coreshop-2.1.6.tar.gz
Composer is a package manager that is used to manage dependencies in PHP. You can install it by running the following command:
$ sudo apt install composer
After installing composer, run the following command to install dependencies for the CoreShop project:
$ composer install
Before proceeding with the installation, create a new database for your CoreShop project. You can create a new database by running the following commands:
$ sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password and run the following command to create a new database:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE coreshopdb;
After creating the new database, exit the MySQL console by running the following command:
mysql> exit
To configure CoreShop, rename the .env.dist file to .env and update it with your database information:
$ mv .env.dist .env
$ nano .env
Update the following lines with your database information:
DATABASE_URL=mysql://db_user:db_pass@localhost/coreshopdb
Replace db_user and db_pass with your database username and password.
After completing the above steps, you can now install CoreShop by running the following command:
$ php bin/console coreshop:install
The installation process may take some time to complete, depending on your system and the size of the database.
After completing the installation process, you can access your CoreShop site by running the following command:
$ php bin/console server:run
This will start a web server, and you can access your CoreShop site by browsing to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed CoreShop on your Linux Mint Latest system.
