We need to install and configure Linux, Apache, MariaDB and PHP to install Magento on CentOS 7. In a word, LAMP. As we’re already using a Linux Server. Here we’ll begin with the Apache installation.
Install Magento on CentOS 7 – Apache
In this case following command will install Apache in our system.
sudo yum install httpd -y
Here Note, it’s always recommended to use latest MariaDB server. But CentOS 7 has no MariaDB 10 inside it’s default repository. Next the following is the command to add repository in to CentOS 7 for MariaDB 10.
sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo
Also include these following lines:
[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.1/centos7-amd64
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck=1Now simply Save the file. Next for updating the MariaDB repo use the following command:
sudo yum update -y
After completing the update we’re ready to install MariaDB. So, use the below command to install MariaDB.
sudo yum install mariadb-server
Right after that we’ll start both of our Apache web server & MariaDB. By following commands we’ll also enable them to start on boot.
sudo systemctl start httpdsudo systemctl start mariadb sudo systemctl enable httpd sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Magento supports PHP versions from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7.1. We will install PHP 7 and other required modules for Magento.
Install Magento on CentOS 7 – PHP 7
Simply run these following commands to install the PHP 7 and all other modules.
sudo yum install -y http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/CentOS/7/x86_64/ius-release-1.0-14.ius.centos7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum -y update sudo yum -y install php70u php70u-pdo php70u-mysqlnd php70u-opcache php70u-xml php70u-mcrypt php70u-gd php70u-devel php70u-intl php70u-mbstring php70u-bcmath php70u-json php70u-iconvAfter completing the installation it’s time to verify the PHP version. So, use the following commands to verify PHP version.
php -v
Now we’ll see following output for PHP 7.
