Sylius is an open-source e-commerce platform built on top of Symfony that offers advanced features and flexibility to online merchants. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Sylius on your Windows 10 computer.

Prerequisites

Before installing Sylius, make sure that you have the following installed on your Windows machine:

• PHP version 7.2 or later

Step 1: Download Sylius

The first step is to download Sylius from their official website https://sylius.com/download/.

Next, navigate to the directory where you extracted the Sylius archive, and run the following command to install the dependencies:

composer install

Step 3: Configure your .env file

Next, copy the .env file from the root of the Sylius directory and rename it to .env.local. Open the file with a text editor and update the DATABASE_URL parameter to match your database configuration.

openssl genpkey -out config/jwt/private.pem -aes256 -algorithm rsa -passout pass:{your_secret_passphrase}
openssl pkey -in config/jwt/private.pem -out config/jwt/public.pem -pubout -passin pass:{your_secret_passphrase}
