    Prerequisites

    Before installing Magento, ensure you have:

    • A server running Debian 12/Ubuntu 22.04/CentOS 9

    • Root or sudo privileges

    • At least 2GB RAM (4GB recommended for production)

    • LAMP or LEMP stack installed

    Magento requires PHP 8.1+, MySQL 8+ or MariaDB 10.4+, and Composer.

    Step 1: Update Your System

    Keep your system packages up to date.

    Debian/Ubuntu:

     
    sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

    CentOS:

     
    sudo dnf update -y

    Step 2: Install Apache/Nginx Web Server

    For Apache (recommended):

    Debian/Ubuntu:

     
    sudo apt install apache2 -y sudo systemctl enable apache2 sudo systemctl start apache2

    CentOS:

     
    sudo dnf install httpd -y sudo systemctl enable httpd sudo systemctl start httpd

    For Nginx:
    Replace apache2/httpd with nginx in the commands above.

    Step 3: Install PHP and Required Extensions

    Magento requires specific PHP extensions.

    Debian/Ubuntu:

     
    sudo apt install php8.1 php8.1-cli php8.1-fpm php8.1-mysql php8.1-curl php8.1-gd php8.1-intl php8.1-bcmath php8.1-mbstring php8.1-soap php8.1-xml php8.1-xsl php8.1-zip unzip -y

    CentOS:

     
    sudo dnf install php php-cli php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-gd php-curl php-intl php-bcmath php-mbstring php-soap php-xml php-xsl php-zip unzip -y

    Check PHP version:

     
    php -v

    Step 4: Install MariaDB or MySQL

    Debian/Ubuntu:

     
    sudo apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client -y sudo systemctl enable mariadb sudo systemctl start mariadb

    CentOS:

     
    sudo dnf install mariadb-server mariadb -y sudo systemctl enable mariadb sudo systemctl start mariadb

    Secure the installation:

     
    sudo mysql_secure_installation

    Step 5: Configure Database for Magento

    Log in to MariaDB/MySQL:

     
    sudo mysql -u root -p

    Create a database and user for Magento:

     
    CREATE DATABASE magento; CREATE USER 'magento_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'StrongPassword123'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON magento.* TO 'magento_user'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT;

    Step 6: Download and Install Composer

    Magento requires Composer to manage dependencies.

     
    curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer composer -V

    Step 7: Download Magento

    Navigate to your web root (e.g., /var/www/html) and download Magento:

     
    cd /var/www/html composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition magento

    Magento requires authentication keys from your Magento account.

    Step 8: Configure Apache/Nginx for Magento

    Apache Virtual Host example:

     
    <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName yourdomain.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/magento/pub <Directory /var/www/html/magento/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/magento_error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/magento_access.log combined </VirtualHost>

    Enable mod_rewrite and restart Apache:

     
    sudo a2enmod rewrite sudo systemctl restart apache2

    Step 9: Set Proper Permissions

    Magento requires specific file permissions:

     
    sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/magento sudo find /var/www/html/magento -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; sudo find /var/www/html/magento -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

    For CentOS, replace www-data with apache.

    Step 10: Install Magento via Command Line

    Run Magento setup:

     
    cd /var/www/html/magento bin/magento setup:install \ --base-url=http://yourdomain.com \ --db-host=localhost \ --db-name=magento \ --db-user=magento_user \ --db-password=StrongPassword123 \ --admin-firstname=Admin \ --admin-lastname=User \ --admin-email=admin@yourdomain.com \ --admin-user=admin \ --admin-password=Admin123! \ --language=en_US \ --currency=USD \ --timezone=America/New_York \ --use-rewrites=1

    Step 11: Access Magento Admin Panel

    Once installation is complete, access Magento:

     
    http://yourdomain.com/admin

    Log in with the credentials you created during installation.

    Conclusion

    Congratulations! You have successfully installed Magento on Debian, Ubuntu, or CentOS. With proper configuration and secure permissions, your Magento store is ready for customization and product setup.
