Vendure is an open-source eCommerce platform that provides flexible, customizable and scalable solutions for online stores of every size. Here's how to install it on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Open the terminal on your Ubuntu server and clone the Vendure repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/vendure-ecommerce/vendure
Once the repository has been cloned, navigate to the project folder by running the following command:
cd vendure
Next, install the project dependencies using one of the following commands depending on which package manager you have installed:
If you’re using NPM:
npm install
If you’re using yarn:
yarn
This may take a few minutes to complete.
Copy the default configuration file to your project's root folder:
cp packages/core/src/config/vendure-config.example.ts vendure-config.ts
Open the vendure-config.ts file and configure the settings according to your needs. Most importantly, make sure to set your desired database credentials and encryption keys.
Once the configuration is done, you can start Vendure by running the following command:
yarn start
Or, if you’re using NPM:
npm run start
This command will start the development server and compile the project. Vendure is now running on port 3000 of your server.
By following these steps, you should now have Vendure up and running on your Ubuntu server latest. You can access your Vendure dashboard by visiting http://localhost:3000/admin.
