Welcome back to another SimiCart’s technical tutorial. Today, we will guide you how to install composer and how to install Magento 2 with composer.
Step 1: Install Composer
- Run the following command to check if the composer has already been installed:
composer --help composer list --help
- If nothing displays or you face any errors, please install Composer:
Create an empty directory on your Magento server and run the following commands:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
- Run the following command to make your composer globally available
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Step 2: Download Magento 2
Run the following command in the root directory.
composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition .
Step 3: Set Up Permissions
You should set right permissions for the whole Magento 2 installation directory by running the below command:
find . -type d -exec chmod 700 {} \; && find . -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;Step 4: Create The Database
Create an empty database to work with MySQL in case you have already have correct permissions:
echo "CREATE DATABASE magento2" | mysql -u[mysqluser] -p
Step 5: Install Magento 2
Run the following lines in Command Line to install your Magento 2:
php bin/magento setup:install --base-url="http://yoururl.com/" --db-host="localhost" --db-name="dbname" --db-user="dbuser" --db-password="dbpass" --admin-firstname="admin" --admin-lastname="admin" --admin-email="user@example.com" --admin-user="admin" --admin-password="admin123" --language="en_US" --currency="USD" --timezone="America/Chicago" --use-rewrites="1" --backend-frontname="admin"
The above values are just examples, you definitely should change them according to your own info.

Hello,
Thanks for sharing this easy to follow guide to install Magento 2 using composer. Well, I want to ask that for installing any specific Magento 2 version rather than the latest, what will be the CLI command?

Is this possible to install Magento direct to the hosting via composer? not localhost, I want to install to the dreamhost vps
Yes, it’s totally possible. In fact, the 5 steps above remain the same. The difference is what you have to do before that, which is logging into your server and creating a database. For that, I think Dreamhost themselves explain it clearly. You can find their instructions here: https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/216688318-Magento.

My suggestion is to manually install composer from this link: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-osx.
Also, please do NOT run composer install as root unless you know extremely well what you are doing.
