coming soon

This step-by-step tutorial will help you install Magento quickly and easily on localhost.

To get started, make sure that you have all the required components downloaded and set up: XAMPP (PHP 7.3 or 7.4.), composer, elasticsearch, Magento installation( 2.4.1 )

*review Magento 2.x System Requirements before you proceed with the installation

Once you completed XAMP and Composer installation, please follow the below steps:

Start Apache and MySQL from XAMPP Control Panel.

Navigate to \htdocs folder inside the XAMPP installation directory.
Create a new folder for elasticsearch under the \htdocs and unzip the downloaded Elasticsearch zip file inside. In order to start the elasticsearch cluster navigate to /bin folder, and double click on elasticsearch.bat

Make sure that the elasticsearch is setup correctly in browser

Now open the localhost/phpmyadmin in the browser and create a new database - magento

Create a new folder magento under the \htdocs directory and extract the installation files there

Now, go to your \magento directory and find there the G2d.php under the vendor\magento\framework\Image\Adapter. Open the file and find there the validateURLScheme and replace the method with the following code

private function validateURLScheme(string $filename) : bool

{

$allowed_schemes = ['ftp', 'ftps', 'http', 'https'];

$url = parse_url($filename);

if ($url && isset($url['scheme']) && !in_array($url['scheme'], $allowed_schemes) && !file_exists($filename))

{

return false;

}

return true;

}

find the Validator.php file at vendor\magento\framework\View\Element\Template\File

find the 138 line and insert the following code

$realPath = str_replace('\\', '/',$this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path));

open the PluginListGenerator.php file at vendor\magento\framework\Interception and replace the 158 line with the following code:

$cacheId = implode(‘-’, $this->scopePriorityScheme) . “-” . $this->cacheId;

Now go to your XAMPP installation directory, open the php.ini under the /xampp/php to enable the extensions (simply remove the ';')

intl
soap
sockets
xsl

After that, restart XAMP.

go to your /magento directory, open cmd, and run the following commands

php bin/magento setup:install --base-url=”http://localhost/magento" --db-host=”localhost” --db-name=”magento" --db-user=”root” --db-password=”” --admin-firstname=”admin” --admin-lastname=”admin” --admin-email=”user@example.com” --admin-user=”admin” --admin-password=”adminpass" --use-rewrites=”1" --backend-frontname=”admin”

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

php bin/magento indexer:reindex

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy –f

php bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer

php bin/magento cache:clean

php bin/magento cache:flush

php bin/magento module:disable Magento_Csp

php bin/magento module:disable Magento_TwoFactorAuth

Now return to localhost/phpmyadmin and select the magento database and run the following query under the SQL Query tab

INSERT INTO `core_config_data`(`path`, `value`) VALUES (‘dev/static/sign’, 0) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE `value`=0

Now Magento 2.4 is successfully installed on your localhost. You can open your admin - go to localhost/magento/admin and use the defined access details. In our case, it is admin and adminpass.
