How to install Sylius on Fedora Server Latest?

Sylius is an open-source e-commerce platform written in PHP. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Sylius on a Fedora Server.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

  • A Fedora Server with root access.
  • PHP version 7.4 or higher
  • MySQL or MariaDB database server
  • Composer dependency manager for PHP
  • Git version control system

Step 1: Update the System

First, make sure that your system is up-to-date by running the following command:

sudo dnf update

Step 2: Install Required Packages

To install Sylius, we need to install the following packages:

sudo dnf install php-cli php-mysqlnd php-bcmath php-json php-mbstring php-xml php-zip mysql-server git

Step 3: Install Composer

To install Composer, run the following command:

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

Step 4: Create Database

Next, we need to create a database for our Sylius installation. Connect to your MySQL or MariaDB database server using the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

This will prompt you to enter the root password.

Once you are logged in, create the Sylius database using the following command:

CREATE DATABASE sylius;

Step 5: Install Sylius

Clone the Sylius repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Sylius/Sylius.git

Switch to the Sylius directory using the following command:

cd Sylius

Install the Sylius dependencies using Composer:

composer install

During the installation process, you will be prompted to enter the database credentials. Provide the database name, username, and password that you have created in Step 4.

After the installation is complete, configure the Sylius application:

cp .env.dist .env

Open the .env file and set the DATABASE_URL variable to the following:

DATABASE_URL=mysql://db_user:db_pass@localhost/sylius

Replace db_user and db_pass with the MySQL or MariaDB database username and password that you have created in Step 4.

Now, run the following command to initialize the database:

bin/console sylius:install

Sylius is now installed on your Fedora server.

Step 6: Run Sylius

To start the Sylius application, run the following command:
