Step 4: Download Magento
Before download Magento 2, we need Magento authentication keys to authenticate at Magento marketplace if don't have one.
Select My Account from the top-right corner. Now click Access Keys and Generate your new SECURE KEYS.
Public Key: Is your username
Private Key: Is your password
Once you've acquired both the access keys, we can download Magento using one of 2 ways:
Through Github
You can download sourcecode https://github.com/magento/magento2/releases directly from Magento official repository
After donwloading, you should extract the pack to C:\xampp\htdocs\magento2 and run this command inside the folder.
Creating an authorization file
The Magento 2 GitHub repository requires you to authenticate. The composer install commands fails if you do not.
composer install
After the process finished, run the command
composer config repositories.magento composer https://repo.magento.com/
and
composer config http-basic.repo.magento.com <public key <private key>
Through Composer
Go to C:\xampp\htdocs folder and run this command.
composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition magento2
After inserting your repo.magento.com username and password, it will ask for store credentials. Type “Yes.”
Then Magento 2 will now start downloading on your server.
Regardless of the downloading method you choose, the final magento2 folder should look like this.
Step 5: Install Magento
Now every preparation steps are done and we can start installing Magento 2 on Localhost.
Go to C:\xampp\htdocs\magento2 folder, insert this command to start installing Magento 2 (make sure Elasticsearch, Apache, MySql all are running before execute this command)
php bin/magento setup:install --base-url="http://127.0.0.1/magento2/pub/" --db-host="127.0.0.1" --db-name="magento2" --db-user="root" --db-password="root" --admin-firstname="admin" --admin-lastname="admin" --admin-email="user@example.com" --admin-user="admin" --admin-password="Admin@123456" --language="en_US" --currency="USD" --timezone="America/Chicago" --use-rewrites="1" --backend-frontname="admin" --search-engine=elasticsearch7 --elasticsearch-host=127.0.0.1 --elasticsearch-port=9200 --elasticsearch-enable-auth=1 --elasticsearch-username=elastic --elasticsearch-password=elastic
Important options:
-
--base-url: your magento 2 installation folder -
--db-name: your database name in step 4 -
--db-password: your database password in step 4
Others are optional, we can change later.
If you get the following error
In PatchApplier.php line 172:
Unable to apply data patch Magento\Theme\Setup\Patch\Data\RegisterThemes for module Magento_Theme. Original exception message: Wrong file
In Gd2.php line 70: Wrong file
Then follow this solution and run the command again
Now open the terminal and run these commands to upgrade the database
bin/magento indexer:reindex
bin/magento setup:upgrade
and this command to compiles and generates optimized code for Dependency Injection
bin/magento setup:di:compile
If you get the following error
In ErrorHandler.php line 62:
Warning: file_put_contents(C:/xampp/htdocs/magento2/generated/metadata/primary|global|plugin-list.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\magento2\lib\internal\Magento\Framework\Interception\PluginListGenerator.php on line 411
Then following this solution and run the command again
Now can start to deploying our static content
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
Clear Cache
php bin/magento cache:flush
Step 6: Install Sample Data
Now we will deploy sample data for our new Magento 2 website on localhost. Sample data will fill your website with some products, categories and images
Run these below commands
bin/magento sampledata:deploy
bin/magento indexer:reindex
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
bin/magento cache:flush
Well done! refresh your website and enjoy your new Magento 2.4 installation with sample data
