Requirement to install Magento – Web Server (Apache / Nginx) – Mysql – PHP – composer (If you are installing magento via composer)

Enter password

after Root PAssword, There will be few more prompts like “anonymous user”, “Disallow Root Login Remotely”, Remove Test Database”, “Reload Priviledges” etc.
It’s optional and depends on your choice.

After that, you need to create mysql user and database.
First, Run this command -:

Then we create a database.
CREATE DATABASE magento;
Database user name :- training

Install PHP 

sudo apt-get install php -y

you can also confirm the PHP version by this command -:
sudo php -v

Please run all these commands -:

sudo apt-get install php7.2-bcmath
sudo apt-get install php7.2-common
sudo apt-get install php7.2-mbstring
sudo apt-get install php7.2-xmlrpc
sudo apt-get install php7.2-soap
sudo apt-get install php7.2-gd
sudo apt-get install php7.2-xml

sudo apt-get install php7.2-mcrypt
sudo apt-get install php7.2-ldap
sudo apt-get install php7.2-zip
sudo apt-get install php7.2-curl

Configuring Apache2 and Create Virtual Host

Create the configuration file phpacademy.local.conf (this can be any file name as per your choice) inside /etc/apache2/sites-available/
And paste this content according to your configuration in phpacademy.local.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/phpacademy/
ServerName phpacademy.local
ServerAlias www.phpacademy.local
<Directory /var/www/html/phpacademy/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Here phpacademy is the folder where u will install magento.

Your virtual host is configured, run the commands below to enable it:

sudo a2ensite phpacademy.local.conf
sudo a2enmod rewrite

after then you have to restart the Apache service to Apache2 allows all the settings changes to take effect.

sudo service apache2 restart

Now Install composer

Run below command to install composer bcz we will install magento using composer

– sudo apt-get update – sudo apt-get install curl – sudo curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php – sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer


Download Magento via composer

composer create-project –repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition directory-name

It will ask for magento authentication key So you need to login to magento and get the key as per below screenshot

paste it. as username and password , Public key is your username and private key is ur password.

It will ask for save the auth.json, So if you want to keep it generic for all magento installation so press Y if you dont want to save press n.

You can also save auth.json file under your project as well below is the content for auth.json

{
  "http-basic": {
    "repo.magento.com": {
      "username": "0af185d6ad05cf64a3b3a29b8f",
      "password": "ca8b0e3b1e26308221f5b2"    }     
  }
}

This file you can put in your /var/www/html/phpacademy/ folder as auth.json so whenever you will upgrade magento or extension it will not ask for the authentication key again.

Now give permission to directory

– cd /var/www/html/magento install directory – find var generated vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod g+w {} + – find var generated vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod g+ws {} + – chown -R :www-data . # Ubuntu – chmod u+x bin/magento

Now you can install in 2 ways either via browser or via command here I am installing via command as it’s a quite fast process


php bin/magento setup:install \ –base-url=http://phpacademy.local \ –db-host=localhost \ –db-name=phpacademy \ –db-user=root \ –db-password=root@123 \ –admin-firstname=PHP \ –admin-lastname=Academy \ –admin-email=phpacademy@magento.com \ –admin-user=admin \ –admin-password=admin123 \ –language=en_US \ –currency=USD \ –timezone=America/Chicago \ –use-rewrites=1


Here you have to define url and database name and admin details etc. and run this command. so it will install magento and provide admin uri.
