Drupal Commerce is a powerful eCommerce solution built on the open-source CMS Drupal. It comes with many features such as product management, shopping cart, checkout, and payment processing. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Drupal Commerce on Linux Mint Latest.
First, we need to download the latest version of Drupal Commerce. You can download the latest stable release from the official website of Drupal Commerce by visiting https://drupalcommerce.org/download. Alternatively, you can download it using the following command:
$ wget https://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/commerce-8.x-2.27.tar.gz
Before installing Drupal Commerce, we need to install its dependencies. Run the following command to install them:
$ sudo apt-get install php-cli php-zip php-gd php-mysql php-curl php-xml php-mbstring mysql-server
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. It is used to manage the installation of Drupal Commerce and its dependent packages. Install Composer using the following commands:
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Now, navigate to the directory where you have downloaded Drupal Commerce and use the composer to install it.
$ composer install
It will take some time to install all the packages and dependencies.
After the installation, we need to configure Drupal Commerce. Navigate to the directory where you have installed Drupal Commerce and create a new .env file using the following command:
$ cp .env.example .env
Open the .env file and modify the following lines to reflect your environment information:
APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=false
APP_KEY=base64:YOUR_APP_KEY_HERE
APP_URL=http://localhost
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=YOUR_DATABASE_NAME_HERE
DB_USERNAME=YOUR_DATABASE_USERNAME_HERE
DB_PASSWORD=YOUR_DATABASE_PASSWORD_HERE
Save and close the file.
Before running the installation process, we need to create a database for Drupal Commerce. Login to your MySQL server using the following command:
$ mysql -u root -p
Create a new database using the following command:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE YOUR_DATABASE_NAME_HERE;
Replace YOUR_DATABASE_NAME_HERE with the name of your database.
After creating the database, we can now run the Drupal Commerce installation process using the following command:
$ php artisan commerce:install
The above command will install Drupal Commerce on your machine. Once installed, you should be able to login to the Drupal Commerce admin panel by visiting the following URL in your web browser:
http://YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME_HERE/admin/commerce
Replace YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME_HERE with the actual domain name of your website.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Drupal Commerce on Linux Mint Latest. You can now start managing your online store using Drupal Commerce. If you face any issues during the installation or setup process, please refer to the official documentation of Drupal Commerce.
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!
