How to Install CoreShop on Void Linux

CoreShop is an e-commerce solution built on the Symfony framework. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the installation of CoreShop on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we start, we need to make sure the following prerequisites are met:

• A working Void Linux installation
• PHP 7.2 or higher installed
• Composer installed
• A web server installed and configured

Step 1 - Download CoreShop

First, we need to download CoreShop from their website. Run the following command in your terminal:

$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

This command will install the Composer package manager.

Next, create a new directory for your CoreShop installation:

$ mkdir /var/www/myshop

Now, navigate to your new directory:

$ cd /var/www/myshop

And finally, download CoreShop using Composer:

$ php ../composer.phar create-project coreshop/core-shop .

This command will install all the required packages and dependencies for CoreShop.

Step 2 - Configure the Database

Next, we need to configure the database for CoreShop. Start by creating a new database:

$ mysql -uroot -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE coreshop;
mysql> exit;

Next, navigate to your CoreShop directory and copy the .env file:

$ cd /var/www/myshop
$ cp .env.dist .env

Edit the .env file and update the database settings as follows:

DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:password@localhost/coreshop

Replace password with the root password for your MySQL database.

Step 3 - Install CoreShop

To install CoreShop, run the following command:

$ php bin/console coreshop:install

This command will install CoreShop and configure the necessary settings.

Step 4 - Run CoreShop

To run CoreShop, start your web server and navigate to http://localhost/myshop. You should see the CoreShop storefront.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured CoreShop on Void Linux.
