Installation flow diagram
The following diagram provides a high-level overview of installing the Magento software:
The general installation flow is as follows:
-
Set up your server environment.
Install the prerequisite software, including PHP, Apache, MySQL, and the search engine. See the system requirements for more information.
-
Get authentication keys to the Magento Composer repository.
-
Get the Magento software.
-
(Recommended) Get the Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce Composer metapackage to manage Magento components and their dependencies.
-
If you want to contribute to the Magento Open Source codebase or customize the Magento application, clone the Magento 2 GitHub repository. This method requires familiarity with both GitHub and Composer.
-
-
Install the Magento software using the command line.
If the step fails because prerequisite software isn’t set up correctly, review our Prerequisites.
-
Verify the installation by viewing your storefront and the Admin.
