Magento comes in two main editions: Magento Open Source (formerly known as Magento Community Edition) and Magento Commerce (formerly known as Magento Enterprise Edition). The Open Source edition is free to use and provides basic e-commerce functionality, while the Commerce edition is a paid version that includes more advanced features such as customer segmentation, targeted promotions, and advanced marketing tools.

In this tutorial we will show you how to install the Open Source version of Magento 2.4.7 on Ubuntu 24.04 OS.

Before starting the installation, you can check the system requirement for installing Magento 2.4.7.

Step 1: Update Operating System

Update your Ubuntu 24.04 operating system to make sure all existing packages are up to date:

# apt update && apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Apache web server

To install Apache web server, run the following command:

# apt install apache2

You can start the Apache service and configure it to run on startup by entering the following commands:

# systemctl start apache2
# systemctl enable apache2

Verify the status of the Apache service using systemctl status command:

# systemctl status apache2

Output:

● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running)
       Docs: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/
   Main PID: 22413 (apache2)
      Tasks: 6 (limit: 2130)
     Memory: 16.8M (peak: 17.0M)
        CPU: 658ms
     CGroup: /system.slice/apache2.service
             ├─22413 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
             ├─22468 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
             ├─22469 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
             ├─22470 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start

Step 3: Install PHP and PHP extensions

Magento 2.4.7 comes with support for the latest PHP 8.3, while PHP 8.2 remains fully supported. By default, PHP 8.3 is included in the Ubuntu 24.04 default repository.

You can install PHP 8.3 and required PHP extensions using the following command:

# apt install php php-exif php-bz2 php-bcmath php-intl php-soap php-zip php-curl php-mbstring php-mysql php-gd php-xml

Verify if PHP is installed.

php -v

Output:
PHP 8.3.0-1ubuntu1 (cli) (built: Jan 19 2024 14:00:34) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.3.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.3.0-1ubuntu1, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

Update php.ini file

Now it’s time to increase values in the php.ini file.

Open php.ini file:

# nano /etc/php/8.3/apache2/php.ini

Change the following data:

short_open_tag = On
memory_limit = 512M
upload_max_filesize = 128M
max_execution_time = 3600

Then save this php.ini file.

After that, you should restart the Apache web server for the configuration to take effect:

# systemctl restart apache2

Step 4: Install MySQL and create a database

You can install the MySQL server with the following command:

# apt install mysql-server

Verify the status of the MySQL service using systemctl status command:

# systemctl status mysql

Output:

● mysql.service - MySQL Community Server
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mysql.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running)
    Process: 2907 ExecStartPre=/usr/share/mysql/mysql-systemd-start pre (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
   Main PID: 2919 (mysqld)
     Status: "Server is operational"
      Tasks: 37 (limit: 2130)
     Memory: 362.8M (peak: 379.2M)
        CPU: 1.737s
     CGroup: /system.slice/mysql.service
             └─2919 /usr/sbin/mysqld

By default, MySQL is not hardened. You can secure MySQL using the mysql_secure_installation script:

# mysql_secure_installation

Configure it like this:

- Set root password? [Y/n] Y
- Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y
- Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y
- Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y
- Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y

Now run the command below to log in to the MySQL shell.

# mysql -u root -p

Once you are logged in to your database server to create a database, database user, and grant all privileges to the database user run the following commands:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE magentodb;
mysql> CREATE USER 'magentouser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Str0ngPa$$w0rd';
mysql> GRANT ALL ON magentodb.* TO 'magentouser'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT

Step 5: Installing Elasticsearch

Starting Magento 2.4, all installations must be configured to use Elasticsearch as the catalog search engine.

Import the Elasticsearch GPG key:

# wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/elasticsearch-keyring.gpg

Add the Elasticsearch repository:

# echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/elasticsearch-keyring.gpg] https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-8.x.list

Update the apt package manager and install Elasticsearch:

# apt update && apt install elasticsearch

Then start and enable the service:

# systemctl start elasticsearch
# systemctl enable elasticsearch

Open the elasticsearch.yml file:

# nano  /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

Then uncomment the lines and update the values:

node.name: "ubuntu"
cluster.name: magento 2.4.7
network.host: 127.0.0.1
http.port: 9200
xpack.security.enabled: false

After that, you should restart elasticsearch service for the configuration to take effect:

# systemctl restart elasticsearch

To verify that Elasticsearch is running correctly, you will use the curl command:

# curl -X GET "localhost:9200/"

If Elasticsearch is working properly, the result should be like this:

{
  "name" : "ubuntu",
  "cluster_name" : "magento 2.4.7",
  "cluster_uuid" : "nKzTibHRT_ahq6lCsWk6Ew",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "8.13.1",
    "build_flavor" : "default",
    "build_type" : "deb",
    "build_hash" : "9287f29bba5e270bd51d557b8daccb7d118ba247",
    "build_date" : "2024-03-29T10:05:29.787251984Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "9.10.0",
    "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "7.17.0",
    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "7.0.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Step 6: Install Composer

To download Composer, run the following command:

# curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Next, move the composer file to the /usr/local/bin path:

# mv composer.phar  /usr/local/bin/composer
# chmod +x   /usr/local/bin/composer

Verify the Composer version installed:

# composer --version

Output:
Composer version 2.7.2 2024-03-11 17:12:18

Step 7: Install Magento 2.4.7

For most situation it is recommended to install Magento using the Marketplace by creating access key.

To get the access keys, you should create an account in the Magento marketplace.

Then for generating access keys go to:

My profile > Marketplace > My products > Access Keys

Once access keys are generated run the following  command to download Magento 2.4.7:

# composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition=2.4.7 /var/www/magento2

Username : Your Public Key
Password : Your Private Key

Navigate to the Magento directory:

# cd /var/www/magento2

Chmod cache and static content folder:

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

Change the ownership of the magento2 directory to the webserver user and also the permissions:

# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/magento2
# chmod -R 755 /var/www/magento2

Now, install Magento using the composer command, type:

# bin/magento setup:install \
--base-url=http://your-domain.com \
--db-host=localhost \
--db-name=magentodb \
--db-user=magentouser \
--db-password='Str0ngPa$$w0rd' \
--admin-firstname=Admin \
--admin-lastname=User \
--admin-email=admin@your-domain.com \
--admin-user=admin \
--admin-password=admin123 \
--language=en_US \
--currency=USD \
--timezone=America/Chicago \
--use-rewrites=1

After the installation process you will see the admin link for your Magento site.

[SUCCESS]: Magento installation complete.
[SUCCESS]: Magento Admin URI: /admin_nuqh2y
Nothing to import.

Step 8: Configure Apache for Magento 2.4.7

Run the command below to create a new VirtualHost file in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory:

# nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/magento2.conf

Paste the content as shown below:

 <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@your-domain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/magento2/pub
    
    ServerName your-domain.com
    ServerAlias www.your-domain.com

    <Directory /var/www/magento2/>

        CPU: 3.314s
     CGroup: /system.slice/mysql.service
             └─938 /usr/sbin/mysqld

By default, MySQL server is not hardened. You can secure MySQL using the mysql_secure_installation script.

# mysql_secure_installation

Configure it like this:

- Set root password? [Y/n] Y
- Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y
- Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y
- Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y
- Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y

Now, log into the MySQL prompt:

#  mysql -u root -p

To create a database, database user, and grant all privileges to the database user run the following commands:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE cakephp_db;
mysql> CREATE USER 'cakephp_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Str0Pa$$word';
mysql> GRANT ALL ON cakephp_db.* TO 'cakephp_user'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT

Step 5: Install Composer

CakePHP’s official installation method is through Composer.

Run the following command to download the Composer installer using curl command:

# curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Next, move the composer file to the /usr/local/bin path.

# mv composer.phar  /usr/local/bin/composer

Assign execute permission:

# chmod +x   /usr/local/bin/composer

Verify the Composer version installed:

# composer --version

Output:
Composer version 2.5.7 2023-05-24 15:00:39

Step 6: Create CakePHP Project

Now, using Composer it is quite simple to create CakePHP project. To do so, just run the following command:

# cd /var/www
# composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app MyProject

In the final part of the installation, you will be asked to change the permissions of the folders.

Set Folder Permissions ? (Default to Y) [Y,n]? Y
Permissions set on /var/www/MyProject/tmp/cache
Permissions set on /var/www/MyProject/tmp/cache/models
Permissions set on /var/www/MyProject/tmp/cache/persistent
Permissions set on /var/www/MyProject/tmp/cache/views
Permissions set on /var/www/MyProject/tmp/sessions
Permissions set on /var/www/MyProject/tmp/tests
Permissions set on /var/www/MyProject/tmp
Permissions set on /var/www/MyProject/logs
Updated Security.salt value in config/app_local.php

Also, change the ownership of the MyProject directory with the following command:

# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/MyProject/

Then edit MyProject/config/app_local.php configuration file and search for your database setting.

# nano /var/www/MyProject/config/app_local.php

Make necessary changes as per below details:

    'Datasources' => [
        'default' => [
            'host' => 'localhost',
            //'port' => 'non_standard_port_number',

            'username' => 'cakephp_user',
            'password' => 'Str0Pa$$word',

            'database' => 'cakephp_db',

Step 7: Deploy CakePHP (Development)

To check that CakePHP is properly installed, simply run PHP’s built-in webserver to serve your project.

# bin/cake server

By default, without any arguments provided, this will serve your application at http://localhost:8765/.

You can also specify your own host and port:

# bin/cake server -H 192.168.10.10 -p 4321

This will serve your application at http://192.168.10.10:4321/

Note: That this is done for development purposes and never for production.

Step 8: Configure Apache for CakePHP (Production)

To create a new VirtualHost file run the following commands:

# nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/cakephp.conf

Paste the content as shown below:

 <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@your-domain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/MyProject/
    
    ServerName your-domain.com
    ServerAlias www.your-domain.com

    <Directory /var/www/MyProject/> 
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory> 

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your-domain.com_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your-domain.com_access.log combined

 </VirtualHost>

Remember to replace your-domain.com with the domain name of your server.

Save and exit the configuration file.

Then enable the "rewrite" module in Apache:

# a2enmod rewrite

To enable this site run the command:

# a2ensite cakephp.conf

To implement the changes, restart Apache webserver:

# systemctl restart apache2

Step 9: Access CakePHP

To access your CakePHP project, go to your browser and visit http://your-domain.com.

Comments and Conclusion

That’s it. You can now create controllers, models and views to develop your project according to your requirements.

For additional help or useful information, we recommend you to check the official CakePHP documentation.

The post How to Install CakePHP on Ubuntu 22.04 appeared first on LinuxTuto.

Magento provides a range of features and tools that help businesses to customize their online store and manage their products, customers, and orders.

Some of the key features of Magento include a robust shopping cart system, customizable product pages, flexible pricing rules, integrated payment and shipping options, and a wide range of extensions and plugins that can be used to enhance the functionality of the platform.

Magento is also known for its scalability, which means it can be used by businesses of all sizes, from small startups to large enterprises.

In this tutorial we will show you how to install the Open Source version of Magento 2.4.6 on Ubuntu 22.04 OS.

Before starting the installation, you can check the system requirement for installing Magento2:

Step 1: Update Operating System

Update your Ubuntu 22.04 operating system to make sure all existing packages are up to date:

# apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Nginx web server

To install Nginx web server, run the following command:

# apt install nginx

Once installed, Nginx should be running. If it’s not, for whatever reason, start it:

# systemctl start nginx

Then enable it to start on boot time.

# systemctl enable nginx

Step 3: Install PHP and PHP extensions

Magento 2.4.6 comes with support for the latest PHP 8.2, while PHP 8.1 remains fully supported. By default, PHP 8.1 is included in the Ubuntu 22.04 default repository.

You can install PHP 8.1 using the following command:

# apt-get install php php-dev php-fpm php-bcmath php-intl php-soap php-zip php-curl php-mbstring php-mysql php-gd php-xml

Verify if PHP is installed.

php -v

Output:
PHP 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.11 (cli) (built: Feb 22 2023 22:56:18) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.1.2, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.1.2-1ubuntu2.11, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

Update php.ini file

Now it’s time to increase values in the php.ini file.

To locate the PHP configuration file run the following command:

# php --ini | grep "Loaded Configuration File"

Output:
Loaded Configuration File:         /etc/php/8.1/cli/php.ini

Open php.ini file:

# nano /etc/php/8.1/cli/php.ini

Change the following data:

file_uploads = On
allow_url_fopen = On
short_open_tag = On
memory_limit = 512M
upload_max_filesize = 128M
max_execution_time = 3600

Then save this php.ini file.

After that, you should restart nginx for the configuration to take effect:

# systemctl restart nginx

Step 4: Install MySQL 8 and create a database

You can install MySQL with the following command:

# apt install mysql-server

Start the database server daemon, and also enable it to start automatically at the next boot with the following commands:

# systemctl start mysql
# systemctl enable mysql

Once the database server is installed, log into the MySQL prompt:

#  mysql -u root -p

To create a database, database user, and grant all privileges to the database user run the following commands:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE magentodb;
mysql> CREATE USER 'magentouser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MyPassword';
mysql> GRANT ALL ON magentodb.* TO 'magentouser'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT

Step 5: Installing Elasticsearch

Starting Magento 2.4, all installations must be configured to use Elasticsearch as the catalog search engine.

Import the Elasticsearch GPG key.

# wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/elasticsearch-keyring.gpg

Add the Elasticsearch repository.

# echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/elasticsearch-keyring.gpg] https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-8.x.list

Update the apt package manager and install Elasticsearch:

# apt update && apt install elasticsearch

Then start and enable the service.

# systemctl start elasticsearch

# systemctl enable elasticsearch

Now open the elasticsearch.yml file

sudo nano  /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

and replace this setting with false:

# Enable security features
xpack.security.enabled: false

After that, you should restart elasticsearch service for the configuration to take effect:

# systemctl restart elasticsearch.service

To verify that Elasticsearch is running correctly, you will use the curl command:

# curl -X GET "localhost:9200/"

If Elasticsearch is working properly, the result should be like this:

{
  "name" : "ubuntu",
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "cluster_uuid" : "KPbFKCVLT9uu-RFxzxH_Bw",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "8.6.2",
    "build_flavor" : "default",
    "build_type" : "deb",
    "build_hash" : "2d58d0f136141f03239816a4e360a8d17b6d8f29",
    "build_date" : "2023-02-13T09:35:20.314882762Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "9.4.2",
    "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "7.17.0",
    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "7.0.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Step 6: Install Composer

To download Composer, run the following command:

# curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Next, move the composer file to the /usr/local/bin path.

# mv composer.phar  /usr/local/bin/composer

Assign execute permission:

# chmod +x   /usr/local/bin/composer

Verify the Composer version installed:

# composer --version

Output:
Composer version 2.5.4 2023-02-15 13:10:06

Step 7: Install Magento 2.4.6

For most situation it is recommended to install Magento using the Marketplace by creating access key.
For generating Access keys go to:

My profile > Marketplace > My products > Access Keys

Run the following  command to download Magento 2.4.6 data:

# composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition=2.4.6 /var/www/magento2

Username : Your Public Key
Password : Your Private Key

Navigate to the Magento directory:

# cd /var/www/magento2

Chmod cache and static content folder

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

Change the ownership of the Magento directory to the webserver user and also the permissions:

# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/magento2
# chmod -R 755 /var/www/magento2

Now, install Magento using the composer command, type:

# bin/magento setup:install \
--base-url=http://your-domain.com \
--db-host=localhost \
--db-name=magentodb \
--db-user=magentouser \
--db-password=MyPassword \
--admin-firstname=Admin \
--admin-lastname=User \
--admin-email=admin@your-domain.com \
--admin-user=admin \
--admin-password=admin123 \
--language=en_US \
--currency=USD \
--timezone=America/Chicago \
--use-rewrites=1

After the installation process you will see the admin link for your Magento site.

[SUCCESS]: Magento installation complete.
[SUCCESS]: Magento Admin URI: /admin_o07lew
Nothing to import.

Step 8: Configure Nginx Web Server for Magento 2.4.6

Navigate to /etc/nginx/conf.d directory and run the following command to create a configuration file for your Magento installation:

# nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/magento2.conf

Add the following content:

upstream fastcgi_backend {
  server  unix:/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock;
}

server {

  listen 80;
  server_name your-domain.com www.your-domain.com;
  set $MAGE_ROOT /var/www/magento2;
  include /var/www/magento2/nginx.conf.sample;
}

Save the file and Exit.

Restart the Nginx web server.

# systemctl restart nginx

Step 9: Access your Magento 2.4.6 Application

Open your browser and type your domain e.g http://your-domain.com

The post How to Install Magento 2.4.6 on Ubuntu 22.04 appeared first on LinuxTuto.

In this tutorial we will show you how to install the Open Source version of Magento 2.4.4 on Debian 11.

Before starting the installation, you can check the system requirement for installing Magento2 here:

System prerequisites

Your system will need to satisfy the requirements below before proceeding.

• Apache Web server
• MySQL 8.0
• PHP 8.1
• Composer – an application-level package manager for the PHP

Step 1: Update Operating System

Update your Debian 11 operating system to make sure all existing packages are up to date:

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Apache web server

To install Apache web server, run the following command:

$ sudo apt install apache2

Once installed, Apache should be running. If it’s not, for whatever reason, start it:

$ sudo systemctl start apache2

Then enable it to start on boot time.

$ sudo systemctl enable apache2

Step 3: Install PHP and PHP extensions for Magento 2.4.4

Magento 2.4.4 require PHP 8.1, so we will install PHP 8.1 in this tutorial.

By default, PHP 8.1 is not included in the Debian 11 default repository. So you will need to add the DEB.SURY.ORG repository to APT.

First, install the required packages using the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install ca-certificates apt-transport-https software-properties-common -y

Once all the packages are installed, add a Sury repository to APT using the following command:

$ sudo echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sury-php.list

Next, download and add the GPG key with the following command:

$ sudo wget -qO - https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg | apt-key add -

Once you are done, update the repository with the following command:

$ sudo apt-get update -y

Now, you can install the PHP 8.1 using the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install php8.1 libapache2-mod-php php8.1-dev php8.1-bcmath php8.1-intl php8.1-soap php8.1-zip php8.1-curl php8.1-mbstring php8.1-mysql php8.1-gd php8.1-xml

Verify if PHP is installed.

php -v

Output:
PHP 8.1.4 (cli) (built: Mar 20 2022 16:52:39) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.1.4, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v8.1.4, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

Update php.ini file

Now it’s time to increase values in the php.ini file. Open php.ini file:

$ sudo nano /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini

Change the following data:

file_uploads = On
allow_url_fopen = On
short_open_tag = On
memory_limit = 512M
upload_max_filesize = 128M
max_execution_time = 3600

Then save this php.ini file.

After that, you should restart apache2 for the configuration to take effect:

$ sudo systemctl restart apache2.service

Step 4: Install MySQL 8 and create a database

To add the MySQL APT repository to your system run the following command:

$ sudo wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.22-1_all.deb

Install the release package.

$ sudo apt install ./mysql-apt-config_0.8.22-1_all.deb

You can install MySQL with the following command:

$ sudo apt install mysql-server

Start the database server daemon, and also enable it to start automatically at the next boot with the following commands:

$ systemctl start mysql
$ systemctl enable mysql

Once the database server is installed, log into the MySQL prompt:

$ sudo  mysql -u root -p

To create a database, database user, and grant all privileges to the database user run the following commands:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE magento_db;
mysql> CREATE USER 'magento_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Password';
mysql> GRANT ALL ON magento_db.* TO 'magento_user'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT

Step 5: Installing Elasticsearch

Starting Magento 2.4, all installations must be configured to use Elasticsearch as the catalog search engine.

Elasticserach uses a secure HTTPS transaction for its repositories. Before we proceed with the installation we need to install the required dependencies:

$ sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates gnupg2

Import the Elasticsearch GPG key.

$ sudo wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -

Add the Elasticsearch repository.

$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-7.x.list'

Update the apt package manager and install Elasticsearch:

$ sudo apt update && apt install elasticsearch

Then start and enable the service.

$ sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service

$ sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch.service

To verify that Elasticsearch is running correctly, you will use the curl command:

$ curl -X GET "localhost:9200/"

If Elasticsearch is working properly, the result should be like this:

{
"name" : "debian",
"cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
"cluster_uuid" : "_95g0f6tQpOQZMR7ySyQQw",
"version" : {
"number" : "7.17.2",
"build_flavor" : "default",
"build_type" : "deb",
"build_hash" : "de7261de50d90919ae53b0eff9413fd7e5307301",
"build_date" : "2022-03-28T15:12:21.446567561Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "8.11.1",
"minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "6.8.0",
"minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "6.0.0-beta1"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Step 6: Install Composer

To download Composer, run the following command:

$ sudo curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Next, move the composer file to the /usr/local/bin path.

$ sudo mv composer.phar  /usr/local/bin/composer

Assign execute permission:

$ sudo chmod +x   /usr/local/bin/composer

Verify the Composer version installed:

$ sudo composer --version

Output:
Composer version 2.2.6 2022-02-04 17:00:38

Step 7: Install Magento 2.4.4

For most situation it is recommended to install Magento using the Marketplace by creating access key.

Run the following  command to download Magento 2.4.4 data:

$ composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition=2.4.4 /var/www/magento2

Navigate to the Magento directory:

$ cd /var/www/magento2

Chmod cache and static content folder

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

Change the ownership of the Magento directory to the webserver user and also the permissions:

$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/magento2
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/magento2

Now, install Magento using the composer command, type:

$ sudo bin/magento setup:install \
--base-url=http://your-domain.com \
--db-host=localhost \
--db-name=magento_db \
--db-user=magento_user \
--db-password=Password \
--admin-firstname=Admin \
--admin-lastname=User \
--admin-email=admin@your-domain.com \
--admin-user=admin \
--admin-password=admin123 \
--language=en_US \
--currency=USD \
--timezone=America/Chicago \
--use-rewrites=1 

After the installation process you will see the admin link for your Magento site.

[SUCCESS]: Magento installation complete.
[SUCCESS]: Magento Admin URI: /admin_1od1xl
Nothing to import.

Step 8: Configure Apache Web Server for Magento 2.4.4

Navigate to /etc/apache2/sites-available directory and run the following command to create a configuration file for your Magento installation:

$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/magento.conf

Add the following content:

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerAdmin webmaster@your-domain.com

ServerName your-domain.com
ServerAlias www.your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/magento2/pub

<Directory /var/www/magento2/>
        AllowOverride All
</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your-domain.com_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your-domain.com_access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Save the file and Exit.

Enable the Magento virtual host and make sure you enable rewrite mod to use site friendly URLs:

$ sudo a2ensite magento.conf
$ sudo a2enmod rewrite

Restart the Apache web server.

$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 9: Access your Magento 2.4.4 Application

Open your browser and type your domain e.g http://your-domain.com
