Bagisto is a popular open-source eCommerce platform designed to create feature-rich online stores. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Bagisto on Void Linux.
Before we begin with the actual installation of Bagisto, we need to make sure that all the required packages are installed on our system. To do so, run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S php php-curl php-mbstring php-xml php-pdo php-mcrypt php-json php-openssl zip unzip
This will install PHP and all other required packages on your system.
Now that we have all the required packages installed, let's download the latest version of Bagisto from its official website. To do so, we'll use the wget command as follows:
wget https://github.com/bagisto/bagisto/archive/refs/tags/v1.3.0.tar.gz
Replace v1.3.0 with the latest version of Bagisto available at the time of your installation.
Once the download is complete, extract the tarball using the following command:
tar -xzf v1.3.0.tar.gz
Now, move the extracted files to the web server root directory:
sudo mv bagisto-1.3.0/* /var/www/html/
The above command will move all the extracted files to the html directory located at /var/www/.
We need to set proper permissions on the Bagisto directory so that Apache (or any other web server you may be using) can access it. To do so, run the following commands:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/
These commands will set the ownership of the directory to Apache's user, www-data, and make sure that other users have only read and execute permissions.
Bagisto requires a MySQL database to function properly. If you don't have a MySQL server set up on your system, you can install it using the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S mariadb-server
Once you have installed MySQL, log in to the MySQL shell using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database and user for Bagisto using the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE bagisto;
CREATE USER 'bagisto'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON bagisto.* TO 'bagisto'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Replace password with a secure password of your choice.
Before we can access the Bagisto web interface, we need to configure a few settings. Navigate to the env file located in the Bagisto directory:
cd /var/www/html/
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
Update the following lines in the .env file with your MySQL database details:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=bagisto
DB_USERNAME=bagisto
DB_PASSWORD=password
Save and close the file.
Bagisto requires several dependencies to be installed. Run the following command to install them:
composer install
This command will install all the required PHP libraries and modules.
Finally, generate a new application key using the following command:
php artisan key:generate
You can now access the Bagisto web interface by navigating to http://your-server-ip in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Bagisto on Void Linux. You can now start building your own eCommerce store using Bagisto.
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!
