2INSTALLATION

There are two ways to install a Magento Theme:

  • Quickstart Installation: Suitable if you have your first installation and want to get a whole new fresh site as our Demo.
  • Manual Installation (including Theme Installation): Suitable if your store is full with content that you don’t want to overwrite.

2.1 Quickstart Installation:

Magentech provides SM Quickstart package for each theme which aims to ease the installation for users. Please note that with Quickstart, all your existing data will be overwritten. Thus, if you plan to start your site from the beginning, it will help you save much time of installing and configuring.

Note: Follow Magento 2.0 Installation Guide to install the Composer before doing this Quickstart installation.

Please follow steps below:

  • Step 1: Download the quickstart package named as sm_paco_quickstart_m2.1.6_v1.5.0
  • Step 2: Extract and Upload the whole Quickstart package to your server. In Quickstart folder you will see the extracted folder that include all sample data
  • Step 3: Create a Database for your Magento site
  • Note: You need to remember the database name to use in the next steps

    • Step 4:Import database sample_data.sql under the folder sm_paco_quickstart_m2.1.6_v1.5.0\data_quickstart

    Note:

    After successful importDO NOT run magento.

    Now we are going to Set file system ownership and permissions. To perform all actions, you should use PuTTY - a free SSH and telnet client for Windows on your computer. When you have the command-line access, enter the following commands in the order shown:

    Go Here to readmore about the action.

    • Step 5: Run installation process by opening browser and navigate to your URL (where the Quickstart uploaded) to load default Magento installer and follow each step of the Installer so that the installation process can be set.

    • Step 6: Choose Start Readiness Check. After Start Readiness Check is completed, select Next .


    When you click on “Start Readiness Check”,the error could occur like the below image

    You need to open your php.ini file and set always_populate_raw_post_data to -1.

    • Step 7: Enter server and database in step 2 and then click on Next.

    After clicking on the button, the Admin Login screen will be opened and you can use admin credentials to login on this screen. It will open Admin panel after successful authentication.

      Note:

      Finally, run this command:

      php bin/magento catalog:images:resize

        • Step 2:
        • Now we are going to verify Composer installation, Deploy static content, Clear compiled code and the cache, Reindex the Magento 2 blocks. Remember that you have had the Composer before doing this step by following Magento 2.0 Installation Guide to get the Composer.

          • 3. Clear compiled code and the cache by typing php bin/magento setup:upgrade in CMD. Typically, you use magento this command line to update components and each component can require different compiled classes.
