Vendure is an open-source e-commerce framework that uses modern technologies like TypeScript and GraphQL. It allows developers to create an online store with features like shopping cart, product catalog, payments, and more.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Vendure on Linux Mint Latest.
Clone the Vendure repository from GitHub using Git:
git clone https://github.com/vendure-ecommerce/vendure.git
This will create a vendure directory with the Vendure source code in it.
Go to the cloned repository directory and install dependencies using the Yarn package manager:
cd vendure
yarn install --pure-lockfile
This command will install all required dependencies for Vendure.
Create a new database for Vendure on your MySQL or PostgreSQL server. Then, create a .env file in the vendure directory and add the following configuration:
DATABASE_TYPE=postgres # or mysql
DATABASE_HOST=localhost
DATABASE_PORT=5432 # or 3306 for MySQL
DATABASE_NAME=vendure_db # replace with your database name
DATABASE_USER=vendure_user # replace with your database username
DATABASE_PASSWORD=vendure_password # replace with your database password
Replace the values with your own database configuration.
Run the following command to create the database schema for Vendure:
yarn vendure-cli db:init
This will initialize the database schema for Vendure.
Start the Vendure server by running the following command:
yarn start
This will start the server and you will be able to see the Vendure console output in the terminal.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Vendure on Linux Mint Latest. You can now start configuring your online store by accessing the Vendure administration area at http://localhost:3000/admin.
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!
