Installing Magento 2.4 using Command Line
- Log in to Magento Servers
- Useful Magento Commands
- Install the Magento Software using Command Line
- Verify the Installation
Step 1: Log in to Magento Servers
The first step is to log in to the server you prepared to install Magento. Make sure the server fulfils all the Magento 2 requirements.
You will need ‘Write’ permission to install the Magento.
Bash Shell users can use the following syntax to switch to the Magento file system owner and enter the commands simultaneously.
su <Magento file system owner> -s /bin/bash -c <command>If you don’t have the Magento file system owner logins, use the following command:
sudo -u <Magento file system owner> <command>Simply add <magento_root>/bin to your system PATH to run Magento commands from any directory.
Step 2: Useful Magento Commands
You will be working with the Command line. If you need the list of all commands, enter the following command:
bin/Magento listWant help with any particular commands? Use the below command:
bin/magento help <command>Step 3: Install the Magento Software from the Command Line
Magento installation Command line format:
magento setup:install --<option>=<value> ... --<option>=<value>You can add options and attach their value. For example:
A command to install Magento 2:
php bin/magento setup:install --base-url="http://127.0.0.1/m111/" --db-host="localhost" --db-name="m111" --db-user="root" --db-password="root@123" --admin-firstname="admin" --admin-lastname="admin" --admin-email="[email protected]" --admin-user="admin" --admin-password="admin@123" --language="en_US" --currency="USD" --timezone="America/Chicago" --use-rewrites="1" --backend-frontname="admin"Here:
The base URL is localhost IP. DB’s name is m111.
And everything else is easily understandable from the example from Command Line.
Admin Credentials:
The following table shows the user information and credentials for the Magento admin user.
| NAME | VALUE | REQUIRED? |
| –admin-firstname | Magento administrator user’s first name. | Yes |
| –admin-lastname | Magento administrator user’s last name. | Yes |
| –admin-email | Magento administrator user’s e-mail address. | Yes |
| –admin-user | Magento administrator username. | Yes |
| –admin-password | Magento administrator user password. | Yes |
Verify the Installation
#1 Verify the storefront
Open any latest browser and enter your Magento store URL to open the storefront.
If the Magento installation base URL is “http//www.example.com,” enter it into your preferred browser.
If the page loads up and looks like the image below, it means the installation is successful.
#2 Verify the Magento Admin Page
Finally, you need to check if the Magento admin is working fine. Enter the Magento store base URL in your favourite browser.
For example: https://www.example.com/admin_breeze
A login page will open. Enter the username and password. If everything goes as expected, the Magento admin dashboard will load up.
Your Magento installation is successfully done, and your store is ready if it looks like this:
It is a good security practice not to use the default login URL. Follow the steps to change the Magento login URL.
