Installation

Note: Magento no longer supports Elasticsearch 2.x, 5.x, and 6.x.

Prepare Installation

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): Manual Installation (including Theme Installation): Suitable if your store is full with data/content (category, products...) that you don't want to overwrite.

Note:

To use magento 2.2.4+ most effectively we recommend using PHP 7.1

To use magento 2.3.x most effectively we recommend using PHP 7.1.3+

To use magento 2.4.x most effectively we recommend using PHP 7.4.0

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_victo_quickstart_pl_m2.4.0_v2.0.0
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

unzip file.zip

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_victo_quickstart_pl_m2.4.0_v2.0.0\data_quickstart
Note: You can import database by run this command mysql -u root -p database_name < sample_data.sql
Step 5: Install Magento
This example assumes that the Magento install directory is named sm_victo, the db-host is on the same machine (localhost), and that the db-name, db-user, and db-password are all magento:

php bin/magento setup:install --base-url=http://192.168.1.220/ytc_templates/magento/sm_victo --base-url-secure=https://192.168.1.220/ytc_templates/magento/sm_victo --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=victo

Messages 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_victo/app/etc'
[Progress: 274 / 274]
[SUCCESS]: Magento installation complete.
[SUCCESS]: Admin Panel URI: /admin_puu71q

Note: 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

After that run these command:
1. php bin/magento setup:upgrade
2. php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
3. php bin/magento indexer:reindex
Step 7: Finally, permissions for the following folders by run these commands:
chmod -R 777 pub
chmod -R 777 generated
chmod -R 777 var

Manual Installation

- Note: Manual Installation can only import CMS Page and Static Block. Products, Categories, Megamenu may not display when you use Manual Installation, you need to configure manually (by yourself >> please read documentation carefully)

Step 1: Download Magento 2.4.x https://magento.com/tech-resources/download and install on your server
Step 2: Please download 'sm_victo_theme_m2.1.x-2.4.x_v2.0.0.zip' file and upload to the root of your magento site folder on your server, after that unzip by command unzip name_file.zip.
Step 3: Active SM Extensions, open command line in folder root of magento and run commands via ssh using putty or others php bin/magento setup:upgrade
