This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Sylius, an open source e-commerce platform, on NetBSD.
Before beginning the installation process, you'll need:
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. You'll need to install it to install Sylius. Run the following command to install Composer:
$ cd /tmp
$ fetch https://getcomposer.org/installer -o composer-setup.php
$ php composer-setup.php
$ mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Now that Composer is installed, you can use it to install Sylius. Run the following command to install Sylius:
$ composer create-project sylius/sylius-standard my-project
This command will create a new directory called my-project and will install Sylius inside of it.
Sylius comes with a default configuration file, but we need to configure it for our specific needs.
Start by copying the .env.dist file in the root directory to create a .env file:
$ cd my-project
$ cp .env.dist .env
Then, edit the .env file to configure Sylius for your environment.
DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///%kernel.project_dir%/var/data.sqlite
Save the changes and close the file.
Now, you have to install the dependencies that Sylius requires to run. Run the following command:
$ composer install --no-dev --prefer-dist
This command will install all the necessary packages for Sylius to run.
Sylius comes with an installation wizard that will set up your site for you. To run the install wizard, run the following command:
$ bin/console sylius:install
This command will guide you through the installation process.
You have now successfully installed Sylius on your NetBSD server. You can now access your Sylius site by visiting the URL of your server with /app_dev.php/admin in the address bar.
Have fun using Sylius!
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!
