Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following:

A fresh installation of EndeavourOS Latest.
A user account with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Update the System

It is important to update your system to the latest packages before installing any new software. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

The system will prompt you to enter your user password. Once you enter it, it will start downloading and installing the updates.

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Before installing Drupal Commerce, we need to install some required packages. To install them, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S php php-gd php-intl php-pgsql postgresql apache

This will install PHP and PHP extensions required for Drupal Commerce to run, Postgresql to store the data, and Apache webserver to serve the files.

Step 3: Configure PHP and Postgresql

After installing the required packages, we need to configure PHP and Postgresql to work with Drupal Commerce. To do this, follow the instructions below.

Configure PHP

Open the php.ini file in your favorite text editor as follows:

sudo nano /etc/php/php.ini

Uncomment the following line by removing the semicolon (;):

;extension=gd

Save and exit the file.

Configure Postgresql

Open the pg_hba.conf file in your favorite text editor as follows:

sudo nano /var/lib/postgres/data/pg_hba.conf

Replace the following line:

#host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            ident

with:

host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5

Save and exit the file.
