In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Drupal Commerce on Windows 11. Drupal Commerce is a comprehensive e-commerce platform built on top of the Drupal content management system. It allows you to create a customizable online store with advanced features such as product catalog management, payment and shipping options, and custom order workflows.
Before we start the installation, make sure you have the following:
First, visit the official Drupal Commerce website at https://drupalcommerce.org/ and download the latest version of Drupal Commerce.
Once you have downloaded the Drupal Commerce package, extract it to your web server document root directory. For example, if you are using XAMPP, extract the package to the htdocs directory located in the XAMPP installation directory.
Next, you need to create a new database that Drupal Commerce can use. If you are using XAMPP, open your web browser and go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin. Log in using your MySQL credentials and create a new database by clicking the "New" button in the left sidebar, then enter a name for your database and click "Create."
Now that the prerequisites are in place, you can proceed with the Drupal Commerce installation. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost/drupalcommerce (replace "localhost" with your web server's IP address if necessary). You should be redirected to the Drupal Commerce installation page.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. You will need to select your language preferences, configure your database settings (use the database you created in step 3), and create a Drupal administrator account.
Once the installation is complete, you can start configuring Drupal Commerce to fit your needs. You can add products to your store and configure your payment and shipping options, among other things.
To access the Drupal Commerce admin panel, go to http://localhost/drupalcommerce/user/login and log in using your administrator account credentials.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Drupal Commerce on Windows 11! You can now start building your online store and customize its features according to your business needs.
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!
