2. Create Database

 

 

3. Install Orocommerce

 

The easiest way to install Pimcore is from your terminal using Composer, Change into the root folder of your project.

 

 

When you will create project using the composer it will ask for several details like database host, username, password, and port and when we will start the orocommerce installation, it will cross-check all the prerequisites required for it, In case if anything is missing it will give you an error and after fulfilling the requirements you can start the installation again.

 

Note:- it will ask you if you need to install it with sample data or not, you can proceed as per your requirements.

 

When the installation is about to get completed, it will ask you to setup Application URL, Organization name, admin username, password, and e-mail id to configure admin panel as shown in the image below-

 

 

 

Once the installation is completed successfully, we need to create a virtual host for Orocommerce instance in apache configuration files, in most of Linux distributions you can create a virtual host in file present on the path “/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf” and virtual host configuration will look like as shown below-

 

 

Make host entry in /etc/hosts

 

Open wkorocommerce.com (Your website) in the browser. If you see this page then you have successfully installed orocommerce 4.0

 

 

To access the Backend hit your website URL along with admin as shown in the image below and enter the login credentials you have set while installing it.

 

 

After login to the admin panel successfully, it will redirect you to the dashboard as shown in the image given below.
