Platform Fundamentals

30-45 minBeginner

Adobe Commerce (Magento) is a complex, enterprise-grade open-source E-commerce platform. It requires a strong server infrastructure (Elasticsearch, Redis, Varnish, RabbitMQ).

Prerequisites

  • Docker (Recommended)
  • Composer
  • 4GB+ RAM for Local Env
Advanced Recommended

Installation (Local)

Using Warden or DDEV.

1

Modern Setup

1

Do NOT try to install Magento on XAMPP/MAMP. It requires too many services.

2

Use a Docker helper like Warden or DDEV.

3

Example (Warden): warden env-init my-project magento2 -> warden sign-certificate my-project.test -> warden env up.

4

This spins up Nginx, PHP-FPM, MariaDB, Elasticsearch, Varnish, and RabbitMQ containers automatically.
