How to Install Thelia on Ubuntu Server Latest

Thelia is an open-source e-commerce solution that allows you to build and manage online stores. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Thelia on Ubuntu Server.

Prerequisites

• Ubuntu Server (latest version)
• LAMP stack (Apache, MySQL, and PHP)
• Composer
• Git

Step 1: Update your system

Before starting the installation process, make sure your system is updated with the latest packages.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2: Install LAMP Stack

If you don't have LAMP stack installed on your server, you can install it using the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php7.4 libapache2-mod-php7.4 php-mysql

After the installation, start the Apache and MySQL services, and enable them to start automatically on system restart.

sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl enable mysql

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Thelia requires some dependencies to be installed beforehand. Install the dependencies using the following command:

sudo apt-get install php-curl php-gd php-intl php-json php-mbstring php-xml php-zip php-cli unzip

Step 4: Install Composer

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. You can install the latest version of Composer using the following command:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Step 5: Clone Thelia

Clone the Thelia repository using the following command:

cd /var/www/html/
sudo git clone https://github.com/thelia/thelia.git

Step 6: Install Thelia

Change the current directory to the Thelia root directory, and run the following commands:

cd thelia/
sudo composer install

This command installs all the required dependencies for Thelia.

Step 7: Configure the Database

Create an empty database and user for Thelia using the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root user password when prompted. Once you are in the MySQL console, execute the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE thelia;
CREATE USER 'thelia_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON thelia.* TO 'thelia_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Replace password with your preferred password.

Step 8: Configure Thelia

Copy the .env.dist file and create a new .env file using the following command:

sudo cp .env.dist .env

Open the .env file and set the following variables:

DATABASE_URL=mysql://thelia_user:password@localhost/thelia
SMTP_HOST=localhost
SMTP_PORT=1025
SECRET=secret-key

Replace password with the password you set in Step 7, and replace secret-key with your preferred secret key.

Step 9: Generate Key

Run the following command to generate the key:

sudo php Thelia generate:key

This command generates a unique key for your Thelia installation.

Step 10: Install Thelia

Run the following command to complete the installation:

sudo php Thelia install

This command installs Thelia and sets up the database tables.

Step 11: Test Thelia

Open your web browser and navigate to your server's IP address or domain name. You should see the Thelia welcome screen.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Thelia on your Ubuntu Server.
