Unlike hosted eCommerce platforms, Magento can be installed on your own Linux server, giving you greater control over the hosting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Magento requires several server-side components, including PHP, a supported database, Composer, a web server, a search engine, and appropriate PHP extensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains how to install <strong>Magento Open Source on a Linux server<\/strong> from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> Magento requirements vary by release. Before starting, verify that the PHP, database, OpenSearch\/Elasticsearch, Composer, and other versions in this guide are compatible with the exact Magento release you intend to install.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Need_Before_Installing_Magento\"><\/span>What You Need Before Installing Magento<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before beginning, make sure you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A Linux VPS or dedicated server<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Root or sudo access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A domain name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A supported PHP version<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MySQL or another supported database<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apache or Nginx<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Composer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OpenSearch or Elasticsearch, depending on the Magento release<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SSL certificate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sufficient RAM and storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Magento authentication key pair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magento authentication keys are used by Composer to access Magento packages.

system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Ubuntu or Debian-based systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo apt update\nsudo apt upgrade -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For RHEL-based distributions, use the appropriate package manager for your operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After updating, reboot if the system recommends it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo reboot<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reconnect to the server after it has restarted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr

Basic Server Utilities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Install commonly required utilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo apt install -y curl wget unzip git vim ca-certificates<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may also need additional packages depending on your Magento version and chosen web

a specific PHP version depending on the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the currently installed version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>php -v<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If PHP isn&#8217;t installed, install the version supported by your Magento release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, on a supported Ubuntu environment, you may install PHP and common extensions with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo apt install -y php php-cli php-fpm php-mysql php-curl php-gd \\\nphp-intl php-mbstring php-xml php-zip php-bcmath php-soap<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then verify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>php

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magento needs appropriate permissions for its application files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A common ownership configuration is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/magento<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact web-server user depends on your Linux distribution and

using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>chmod -R 777<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">as a solution for permission problems.

id=\"Step_11_Configure_PHP_Settings\"><\/span>Step 11: Configure PHP Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magento may require PHP configuration changes depending on the version and workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edit the appropriate PHP configuration file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo nano \/etc\/php\/*\/fpm\/php.ini<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common settings that may need adjustment include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact recommended values depend on the Magento release and workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After changing PHP-FPM settings, restart PHP-FPM:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo systemctl restart php*-fpm<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magento requires a properly configured web server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nginx\"><\/span>Nginx<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create a virtual host configuration for your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>server {\n    listen 80;\n    server_name example.com www.example.com;\n\n    set $MAGE_ROOT \/var\/www\/magento;\n    set $MAGE_MODE production;\n\n    include \/var\/www\/magento\/nginx.conf.sample;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actual configuration should be adapted to your Magento version and

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If using Apache, enable the necessary modules and configure a virtual host pointing to Magento&#8217;s <code>pub<\/code> directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A simplified example is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;\n    ServerName example.com\n    DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/magento\/pub\n\n

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then test the configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo apachectl configtest<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Restart Apache:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magento&#8217;s <code>pub<\/code> directory should be used

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magento&#8217;s search functionality requires a compatible search engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on your Magento version, you may need <strong>OpenSearch or Elasticsearch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the requirements for your specific Magento release before installing either one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After installing the supported search service, verify that it is running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo systemctl status opensearch<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should also test the service locally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>curl http:\/\/127.0.0.1:9200<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact configuration depends on the supported

the server, database, PHP, web server, and search engine are ready, run the Magento installer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A typical command looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use a strong administrator password and avoid publishing installation commands containing real database or administrator credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact installer options can vary between Magento versions, so check the documentation for your specific release if an option has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr

Cron<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magento uses cron jobs for many background operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the Magento directory, run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>php bin\/magento cron:install<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verify the cron configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>crontab -l<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should see Magento-related cron entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a production website, Magento should normally run in production mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

production mode:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>php bin\/magento deploy:mode:set production<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Production mode is intended for live
