1 SYSTEM REQUIREMENT
At the basic level, this theme will require the following conditions:
2INSTALLATION
As of Magento 2.4.0, MySQL is no longer used for search. You must use Elasticsearch. Magento supports Elasticsearch 7.6.x.
(Magento no longer supports Elasticsearch 2.x, 5.x, and 6.x.)
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 donai??i??t want to overwrite.
2.1 Quickstart Installation:
Magentech provides SM Quickstart package for each theme which aims to ease the installation for users. If you plan to start your site from the beginning, it will help you save much time of installing and configuring. Please follow steps below:
Important: You must use the command line to install Magento 2.4+.
- Step 1: Download the quickstart package named as sm_sport_quickstart_pl_m2.4.0_v4.0.0
- Step 2: Upload and Extract 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
Important!
You need to remember the database name to use in the next steps
- Step 4: Import database sample_data.sql under the folder sm_sport_quickstart_pl_m2.4.0_v4.0.0\data_quickstart
Note: You can import database by run this command
mysql -u root -p database_name < sample_data.sql
Note: After that please go to folder root and run these command to permissions:chmod -R 777 pub
chmod -R 777 generated
chmod -R 777 var
- Step 5: Install Magento
This example assumes that the Magento install directory is named
sm_sport
, the db-host is on the same machine (localhost), and that the db-name, db-user, and db-password are allmagento
:php bin/magento setup:install --base-url=http://192.168.1.220/ytc_templates/magento/sm_sport --base-url-secure=https://192.168.1.220/ytc_templates/magento/sm_sport --db-host=localhost --db-name=magento --db-user=magento --db-password=magento --admin-firstname=admin --admin-lastname=admin --admin-email=admin@admin.com --admin-user=admin --admin-password=admin123 --language=en_US --currency=USD --timezone=America/Chicago --use-rewrites=1 --backend-frontname="admin" --search-engine=elasticsearch7 --elasticsearch-index-prefix=sportMessages similar to the following display to indicate a successful installation:
Post installation file permissions check...
For security, remove write permissions from these directories: '/var/www/html/ytc_templates/magento/sm_sport/app/etc'
[Progress: 274 / 274] [SUCCESS]: Magento installation complete.
[SUCCESS]: Admin Panel URI: /admin_puu71qNote: You can customize the Admin URI with the
--backend-frontname
option. However, we recommend omitting this option and allowing the installation command to automatically generate a random URI. A random URI is harder for hackers or malicious software to exploit. The URI displays in your console when installation is complete. - Step 6: Can't login to admin panel
When you login to admin will be display like this image:
Please open file
app/etc/config.php
and change 'Magento_TwoFactorAuth' => 1 to 'Magento_TwoFactorAuth' => 0

chmod -R 777 pub
chmod -R 777 generated
chmod -R 777 var

2.2 Manual Installation
