I. System requirements

Before you install Magento 2, make sure your system meets or exceeds the following requirements:

  • Operating systems : Linux distributions such as RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, and so on
  • Composer (latest stable version)
  • Apache 2.2 or later
  • PHP 5.4.11 or 5.5.x
  • Required PHP extensions:
    • PDO/MySQL
    • mbstring
    • mcrypt
    • mhash
    • simplexml
    • curl
    • gd2, ImageMagick 6.3.7 (or later) or both
    • soap
  • MySQL 5.6.x
  • Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) or an SMTP server
  • Optional but recommended:
    • php_xdebug2.2.0 or later (development environments only; can have an adverse effect on performance)
    • PHPUnit (as a command-line tool) 4.1 or later

II.How to install

When you are done with verifying your prerequisites, follow the steps below to install Magento 2.

1. Install composer

You can use Composer to install Magento 2. It is a tool for dependent management in PHP which allows you to declare the dependent libraries your project needs and install them for you. Composer enables you to manage Magento 2, extensions, and their dependencies.

Here are the key advantages for using Composer:

  • Easy to integrate third-party components into the code base
  • Component-based architecture with robust dependency management
  • Reduce extension conflicts and compatibility issues
  • Versioned dependencies, semantic versioning
  • Supports PHP Framework Interoperability standards
  • An alternative to Pear packaging system

Now, download Composer and run its latest version. For more details on further configuration when installing composer, please visit this Composer installation documentation.

Follow the 6 steps below to start Composer installation

Step 1 : Composer Setup

  1. Download Magento 2 package
  2. Enter commands to write to the web server docroot as document guide
  3. Unzip the package on your web server’s docroot directory.

4.1 Change file system permissions and ownership before installation

To make sure the installation completes successfully, we suggest the following file system permissions and ownership:

  • All files and directories owned by the web server user.
  • Certain directories must be writable.
4.2 Update Composer and run the installer

After you are done with updating the file system permissions and ownership, go onto update Composer and run the installer:

Open Command Prompt on Windows, then update composer on Magento 2 root folder as follow:

Update or install composer on Root Folder

4.3 Create Data Base
  1. Download sample data of Magento 2
  2. Open PHPmyadmin, then create Data base for Magento 2
  3. Import sample data which you download on step 1

Create Database

  • Hi, please upgrade to latest Magento 2 beta version. Your Magento 2 version has serious security bug which allows anyone to access any customer’s address and edit them. For more details, check this: http://ka.lpe.sh/2015/03/28/magento-2-security-bug/

  • Would it be to much to ask to share your Magento demo site (ftp files and database file) so I can duplicate it on my own server? A fresh Magento 2 install was not that hard but I have wasted about 10 hours for the sample data and I just can’t get it in…

    Hi! I can’t access backend with your login and password.

    Thanks your reporting.
    The demo is working fine now with magento 2 version 1.0.0 beta.

    Hello guys,
    Thank you for this demo! It seems that the password has expired :/

    • Thanks @ania,
      We have just fixed the demo, you should log in as normal now.
      Please note, apart from the uber/uber@123 account, you can also access three other Magento 2 extension admin (UB Mega Menu, UB Content Slider and UB Quick View).

      If you’re interested, the credentials to access each single demo is noted here: http://magento2.demo.ubertheme.com

    Is there any Docker or Vagrant setup available for an out of the box Magento 2 demo installation?

    • Thanks for stopping by @Julien.
      It’s pity the Docker or Vagrant setup is not in place yet. The demo instance in our above post is a simple deployment where you can have a quick preview of Magento 2, as well as our Magento 2 extensions.
      Regards,
      Ubertheme team

        No worries, and thank you for providing an easily accessible Magento 2 instance!
