Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

EndeavourOS Latest installed and updated
LAMP stack (Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP) installed and configured
Composer installed
Node.js and Yarn installed

Step 1: Download and Extract Shopware Community Edition

First, go to the Shopware Community Edition website and download the latest version of the software:

wget https://www.shopware.com/de/Download/

Then, extract the downloaded archive to your web server's document root directory:

sudo tar -xvf shopware-x.x.x.zip -C /var/www/html/

Replace x.x.x with the version number you downloaded.

Note: If you don't have sudo installed, you can install it by running the following command:

pacman -S sudo

Step 2: Configure Apache

You need to create a virtual host configuration file for Shopware Community Edition. Create a new file called shopware.conf in the /etc/httpd/conf/extra/ directory:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/shopware.conf

Add the following content to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName example.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/shopware
  <Directory /var/www/html/shopware>
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
  </Directory>
  ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/shopware_error.log
  CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/shopware_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace example.com with your domain name or IP address.

Next, enable the new virtual host configuration by running:

sudo a2ensite shopware.conf

Finally, restart the Apache service:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 3: Install Dependencies with Composer

Shopware Community Edition uses Composer to manage its dependencies. To install them, navigate to the Shopware installation directory:

cd /var/www/html/shopware

Then, run the following command:

composer install --no-dev

This will install all the required packages to run Shopware.

Step 4: Install and Build Frontend Dependencies

Shopware Community Edition also requires Node.js and Yarn to build its frontend assets. First, install the required packages:

sudo pacman -S nodejs yarn

Then, navigate to the Shopware installation directory and run the following commands:

cd /var/www/html/shopware
yarn install
yarn run build

This will install and build all the required frontend dependencies.

Step 5: Configure Shopware

Now that all the dependencies are installed, you need to configure Shopware. Navigate to the Shopware installation directory and run the following command:

sudo ./bin/console system:install --basic-setup

This will start the installation wizard, which will guide you through the initial configuration of your Shopware store. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the setup.

Step 6: Finalize Install

Once the installation wizard is complete, you can access your new Shopware store by visiting the domain name or IP address you configured in Step 2.
