How to install magento 2.4.6 on LEMP with Ubuntu OS

1. Install Php & composer

Install php Make sure that installed packages are updated to the latest version use command:

sudo apt install php8.2

sudo apt install php8.2-{bcmath,fpm,xml,mysql,zip,intl,ldap,gd,cli,bz2,curl,mbstring,pgsql,opcache,soap,cgi,xdebug}

Change some value to match magento settings

sudo nano /etc/php/8.2/fpm/php.ini

Edit:

memory_limit = 2G
max_execution_time = 1800
zlib.output_compression = On

sudo nano /etc/php/8.2/cli/php.ini

and same edit as above

Install composer

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/bin --filename=composer

sudo php /tmp/composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

And use this command to check composer version

composer --version

2. Install Mysql

Make sure that installed packages are updated to the latest version use command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Install mysql

sudo apt install mysql-server

sudo systemctl start mysql.service

Configure mysql

sudo mysql

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '12345678';

exit

mysql -u root -p

(Enter password is 12345678) => success

Create database for magento246

CREATE DATABASE magento246;

3. Install Elasticsearch 7

Install and configure Elasticsearch

curl -fsSL https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/elastic.gpg

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/elastic.gpg] https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-7.x.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt install elasticsearch

sudo nano /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

and edit network.host: localhost

Run elasticsearch

sudo systemctl start elasticsearch

sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch

You can test if the installation was successful with the command:

curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200'

4. Install nginx

You run the command:

sudo apt -y install nginx

We will configure nginx in step 5 when installing magento

5. Install Magento

Install magento via composer

composer create-project --repository=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition <install-directory-name>

Here is the latest magento ver installation command if you want to install lower vers, as follows:

composer create-project --repository=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition=2.4.4 home/keij/www/magento246

Grant permission to magento folder

Go to the magento root folder just downloaded. For example, here we have downloaded magento at home/keij/www/magento246 so:

cd ~

cd www/magento246

find var generated vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod g+w {} +

find var generated vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod g+ws {} +

chown -R :www-data .

chmod u+x bin/magento

Configure nginx for magento site

Create a virtual host for a magento site with command sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/magento246
Add this code to the configuration file just created:

upstream fastcgi_backend {
  server  unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
}

server {

  listen 80;
  server_name magento246.local;
  set $MAGE_ROOT /home/keij/www/magento246;
  include /home/keij/www/magento246/nginx.conf.sample;
}

• Remember to correct php-fpm according to the version you are using
• Edit server_name to the site name you want
• Edit the $MAGE_ROOT set and include is the path to install my magento root

And save and exit the editor
Activate the newly created virtual host by creating a symlink to it in the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled directory:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/magento246 /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

sudo nginx -t

to check if it was successful

If successful, restart nginx with the command sudo systemctl restart nginx Add a new host just as server_name created above

sudo nano /etc/hosts

And edit this look like that:

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       magento246

Install magento with servers, databases, elasticsearch configured above:

Go to the magento installation folder and user command:

cd ~

cd home/keij/www/magento246

php bin/magento setup:install \
--base-url=http://magento246.local \
--db-host=localhost \
--db-name=magento246 \
--db-user=root \
--db-password=12345678 \
--backend-frontname=admin \
--admin-firstname=admin \
--admin-lastname=admin \
[email protected] \
--admin-user=admin \
--admin-password=admin123 \
--language=en_US \
--currency=USD \
--timezone=America/Chicago \
--use-rewrites=1 \
--search-engine=elasticsearch7 \
--elasticsearch-host=localhost \
--elasticsearch-port=9200

Due to installation via composer, there is no sampledata. Run the following command:

bin/magento sampledata:deploy

bin/magento setup:upgrade && bin/magento cache:flush

You can go to http://magento246.local to check your site magento

6. If you have a problem with decentralization, you can fix it as follows:

my-user is your user. Mine is keij Change the owner of the magento root installation directory to my-user with the command:

sudo chown -R /home/keij/www/magento246 my-user

Change user run with nginx:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

(Edit user to keij)

Add your user to www-data group

sudo adduser my-user www-data

Change user run with php-fpm

sudo nano /etc/php/8.2/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

(Edit user to keij)

And then restart some services like nginx, php
