Drupal Commerce is an open-source e-commerce platform built on Drupal, a popular content management system. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Drupal Commerce on NetBSD.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Install Apache or Nginx on your NetBSD server. Run the following command to install Apache on NetBSD:
pkgin install apache
Or if you prefer Nginx, run the following command instead:
pkgin install nginx
Install PHP on NetBSD. You can install PHP7.x by running the following command:
pkgin install php73 php73-mysqli php73-pdo_mysql php73-gd php73-curl php73-opcache
Install MySQL or MariaDB on NetBSD. To install MySQL, run the following command:
pkgin install mysql-server
Or, to install MariaDB, run:
pkgin install mariadb-server
Once you have a web server, PHP and MySQL installed, it's time to download Drupal Commerce. Go to the Drupal Commerce website at https://drupalcommerce.org and download the latest version of Drupal Commerce.
Extract the downloaded file into your web server's root directory (e.g. /var/www/ for Apache or /usr/pkg/nginx/html for Nginx). You can use the following command to extract the file:
tar xzf drupal-commerce-8.x.x.tar.gz -C /var/www/
Create a new MySQL database for Drupal Commerce. You can create a new MySQL database, user and password by running the following command:
mysql -u root -p
create database drupal_commerce;
create user 'drupaluser'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
grant all privileges on drupal_commerce.* to 'drupaluser'@'localhost';
flush privileges;
Make sure to replace drupal_commerce, drupaluser, and password with your desired database, username, and password.
Configure Drupal Commerce. Open your web browser and go to http://your-domain.com/ to start the installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure Drupal Commerce. When asked for the database credentials, enter the database name, username, and password that you created in step 6.
Once you have completed the installation process, you can log in to your Drupal Commerce admin dashboard to start creating your online store.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Drupal Commerce on NetBSD. By following these steps, you should now have a fully functional Drupal Commerce site running on your NetBSD server. Good luck with your online store!
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!
