Aimeos is a PHP based e-commerce platform that offers extensive features such as product management, order management, customization, and many others. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Aimeos on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, you need to ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • A clear Linux latest installed system.
  • A LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) installed and configured on your Clear Linux latest server.
  • PHP extensions mbstring, openssl, xml, curl, zip, gd, and pdo_mysql installed and enabled on the server.
  • Composer installed on your Clear Linux latest server.

If you don't have any of the above requisites installed on your Clear Linux latest system, we recommend you install them before proceeding with Aimeos installation.

Step 1: Download Aimeos

To start with the installation, we first need to download the Aimeos package. You can download the latest Aimeos version using the following command:

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/aimeos/aimeos-laravel/releases/latest \
| grep browser_download_url \
| cut -d '"' -f 4 \
| grep -e aimeos-laravel.*.zip \
| xargs -I {} curl -L -O {}

After running the above command, the latest Aimeos version package will be downloaded to your Clear Linux latest server.

Step 2: Install Aimeos

Next, we need to extract the downloaded Aimeos package to the webserver document root directory. You can execute the following command to extract the downloaded package:

unzip aimeos-laravel*.zip -d /var/www/html

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Now, we need to install the required dependencies for Aimeos by running the following command:

cd /var/www/html/aimeos-laravel
composer install --no-dev

After running this command, Composer will start its installation process, and it will take a few minutes to complete.

Step 4: Configure .env file

Next, we need to configure the .env file for our Aimeos project. Execute the following command to create a .env file:

cp .env.example .env

Then open the .env file using a text editor and update the following details:

  • DB_DATABASE: The name of the MySQL database.
  • DB_USERNAME: The username of the MySQL database.
  • DB_PASSWORD: The password of the MySQL database.
  • MAIL_*: Details used for email configuration.

Step 5: Set App Key

To secure the application data, Laravel requires an app key. You can generate a new app key by running the following command:

php artisan key:generate

Step 6: Database Migration

Now we need to set up the required database tables for our Aimeos project by executing the following command:

php artisan migrate

Step 7: Install Frontend Dependencies

To wrap up the installation process, we need to install frontend dependencies by running the following command:

npm install && npm run dev

After running the above command, Aimeos installation on Clear Linux latest is complete.
