How to Install CoreShop on Ubuntu Server Latest

CoreShop is an e-commerce solution built for Symfony, an open-source PHP web application framework. It is designed to be easy to use and customizable.

This tutorial will guide you through the installation of CoreShop on an Ubuntu Server latest operating system. Here are the steps:

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:

• An Ubuntu Server Latest installation
• Root or sudo access
• Apache or NGINX web server installed and running on Ubuntu
• PHP installed and running on Ubuntu
• Composer installed on Ubuntu

Step 1: Create a New Symfony Project

The first step to installing CoreShop is to create a new Symfony project. To do this, open a terminal window and execute the following commands:

cd /var/www/html
composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton coreshop-demo
cd coreshop-demo

This will create a new Symfony project in the directory /var/www/html/coreshop-demo. You can change the coreshop-demo directory name to anything you like.

Step 2: Install CoreShop

After creating a new Symfony project, we can now install CoreShop on it. To do this, execute the following command:

composer require coreshop/core-shop:^2.0

This command will download and install CoreShop 2.0, the latest version available at the time of writing. Composer will also download all the dependencies that CoreShop requires.

Step 3: Configure the Application

Before we can use CoreShop, we need to configure the application. There are four files that we need to modify:

• .env
• config/bundles.php
• config/packages/coreshop.yaml
• config/routes.yaml

Configure the .env File

The .env file contains the environment variables used by the application. Open this file and modify the following line:

###> coreshop/core-shop ###
SHOP_NAME=Coreshop Demo
###< coreshop/core-shop ###

This sets the name of your shop to "Coreshop Demo."

Configure the config/bundles.php File

The config/bundles.php file contains a list of all the Symfony bundles that the application uses. Open this file and add the following two lines:

// config/bundles.php
return [
    //...
    Coreshop\CoreShopBundle\CoreshopCoreShopBundle::class => ['all' => true],
    Symfony\Bundle\WebProfilerBundle\WebProfilerBundle::class => ['dev' => true, 'test' => true],
];

The first line adds the CoreShopBundle to the list of bundles that the application uses, and the second line enables the web profiler bundle, which is useful for development and testing.

Configure the config/packages/coreshop.yaml File

The config/packages/coreshop.yaml file contains the CoreShop-specific configuration options. Open this file and modify the following lines:

#config/packages/coreshop.yaml
coreshop_core_shop:
    currency:
        default: USD
        locales:
            en_US: USD
    tax_zone: US
    purge_deleted: true

This sets the default currency to USD, sets the tax zone to US, and enables purging of deleted products.

Configure the config/routes.yaml File

The config/routes.yaml file contains the routing configuration for the application. Open this file and add the following lines:

# config/routes.yaml

coreshop_admin:
    resource: '@CoreshopCoreShopBundle/Resources/config/routing_admin.yml'
    prefix: '/admin'

coreshop:
    resource: '@CoreshopCoreShopBundle/Resources/config/routing_frontend.yml'
    prefix: '/{_locale}'
    requirements:
        _locale: '%locale_supported%'

This sets up the routing for the frontend and the backend portions of the CoreShop application.

Step 4: Create the Database

The next step is to create the database for CoreShop. To do this, execute the following commands:

php bin/console doctrine:database:create
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force

These commands will create the database and the necessary tables.

Step 5: Verify the Installation

To verify that CoreShop is installed and working correctly, start the Symfony local web server by running the following command:

php bin/console server:start

Once the server has started, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000/admin. You should see the CoreShop login screen.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed CoreShop on your Ubuntu Server latest operating system.
