How to Install Sylius on Manjaro

Sylius is a popular PHP open-source e-commerce platform that allows developers to create custom e-commerce stores with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Sylius on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure that your Manjaro system meets the following requirements:

  • PHP 7.4 or later
  • Composer
  • MySQL or PostgreSQL
  • Web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx)

If you don't have PHP, Composer, or a web server installed, you can follow our previous tutorials on how to install them on Manjaro.

Step 1: Download Sylius

You can download Sylius from their official website or by running the following command in the terminal:

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

Once downloaded, move into the Sylius directory:

$ cd Sylius

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Next, install Sylius dependencies by running the following command:

$ composer install

This command installs all required libraries, packages, and dependencies for Sylius.

Step 3: Configuration Setup

Sylius requires some configuration to run correctly. Copy the config/app/config.yml file:

$ cp config/app/config.yml.dist config/app/config.yml

Edit the config/app/config.yml file as per your environment. Set the database connection details and other configurations.

Step 4: Database Setup

Create a new database in MySQL or PostgreSQL for Sylius. Use the following command to create the database:

$ mysql -u root -p -e "CREATE DATABASE sylius CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;"

Or

$ postgres=# CREATE DATABASE sylius WITH ENCODING = 'UTF8';

Then, create the database tables by running the following command:

$ bin/console doctrine:schema:create

Step 5: Serve Sylius

Now let's serve Sylius using the built-in server. Run the following command:

$ bin/console server:start

This will start the built-in PHP web server on your Manjaro system. You can access the Sylius store by visiting http://localhost:8000/.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Sylius on your Manjaro system. Now you can start building your own custom e-commerce store using Sylius!
