Create the Magento database schema
First steps
-
Log in to the Magento server as, or switch to, a user with permissions to write to the Magento file system. See switch to the Magento file system owner.
If you use the bash shell, you can use the following syntax to switch to the Magento file system owner and enter the command at the same time:
1
su <Magento file system owner> -s /bin/bash -c <command>
If the Magento file system owner does not allow logins, you can do the following:
1
sudo -u <Magento file system owner> <command>
-
To run Magento commands from any directory, add
<magento_root>/bin
to your systemPATH
.Because shells have differing syntax, consult a reference like unix.stackexchange.com.
Sample bash shell for CentOS:
1
export PATH=$PATH:/var/www/html/magento2/bin
Optionally, you can run the commands in the following ways:
cd <magento_root>/bin
and run them as./magento <command name>
<magento_root>/bin/magento <command name>
<magento_root>
is a subdirectory of your web server docroot. Need help locating the docroot?
In addition to the command arguments discussed here, see Common arguments.
