Installation via Git

Follow the instruction below if you want to install Shopware 5 using Git.

1.) Clone the git repository to the desired location using:

git clone https://github.com/shopware/shopware.git

In case you wish to contribute to Shopware, fork the 5.7 branch rather than cloning it, and create a pull request via GitHub. For further information please read the section "Get involved" of this document.

2.) Set the correct directory permissions:

chmod -R 755 custom/plugins
chmod -R 755 engine/Shopware/Plugins/Community
chmod -R 755 files
chmod -R 755 media
chmod -R 755 var
chmod -R 755 web

Depending on your server configuration, it might be necessary to set whole write permissions (777) to the files and folders above. You can also start testing with lower permissions due to security reasons (644 for example) as long as your PHP process can write to those files.

3.) A Makefile may be used to set up the configuration and database connection:

• Copy .env.dist to .env and modify variables if needed
• make init

Info regarding platform inter-compatibility

The Makefile is intended to work with Linux and Mac systems alike which means that we're not able to use all features of modern GNU make. Some workarounds are in place because of this and place constraints on the functionality of this way to set up Shopware (there might be issues when using special characters inside the variables of the .env file). The Makefile is therefore only to be used for testing and development setups at the moment.

4.) Download the test images and extract them:

Go to the root directory of your shopware system and download the test images:

wget -O test_images.zip http://releases.s3.shopware.com/test_images_since_5.1.zip

For older Shopware versions < 5.1

wget -O test_images.zip http://releases.s3.shopware.com/test_images.zip

Unzip the files inside the root directory:

unzip test_images.zip

You can now access your shop

Backend

The backend is located at /backend example http://your.shop.com/backend. Backend Login: demo/demo

The test_images.zip file includes thumbnails for the new responsive theme and the old deprecated template.

If you want to have full-featured demo data, you should download the respective demo data plugin in the First Run Wizard or in the Plugin Manager.
