In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Magento Open Source on MXLinux Latest using GitHub. Magento Open Source is an eCommerce platform that allows users to create and manage an online store. It is important to note that Magento requires a server environment with specific requirements, so make sure your server meets Magento’s system requirements before proceeding.
Before installing Magento Open Source, you will need the following:
First, you need to clone the Magento repository from GitHub. Open the terminal on your server and enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/magento/magento2.git
This will download the Magento code to your server.
Magento uses Composer to manage its dependencies, so you need to install it on your server. Enter the following command to install Composer:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
This will install Composer and make it available globally.
Now, you need to navigate to the Magento directory and install its dependencies using Composer. Enter the following commands:
cd magento2
composer install
This will download and install Magento’s dependencies.
Magento requires a database to store its data. You can create a new database using the MySQL command line tool. Enter the following commands:
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE magento;
GRANT ALL ON magento.* TO 'magento'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Replace password with a strong password for the database user.
Now, you are ready to install Magento. Enter the following command:
bin/magento setup:install \
--base-url=http://localhost/ \
--db-host=localhost \
--db-name=magento \
--db-user=magento \
--db-password=password \
--admin-firstname=Admin \
--admin-lastname=User \
--admin-email=admin@example.com \
--admin-user=admin \
--admin-password=password123 \
--language=en_US \
--currency=USD \
--timezone=America/New_York \
--use-rewrites=1
Replace the database credentials with the ones you created in step 4. You can also customize the other options according to your needs.
After the installation is complete, you can access the Magento admin panel by navigating to http://localhost/admin. Use the admin credentials you entered in step 5 to log in.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Magento Open Source on MXLinux Latest using GitHub. You can now customize your store and start selling online.
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!
