How to Install Magento 2 on kali linux

Magento 2 is a powerful open-source eCommerce platform that helps you build and manage professional online stores. Installing it on Kali Linux provides a stable and secure environment, especially if you’re testing or developing web applications.

Step 1: Update System

Updating your system ensures that all packages are current and prevents errors during installation.

suds apt update && suds apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Apache, MySQL, and PHP

Magento requires a web server, a database, and PHP with essential extensions to work correctly.

suds apt install apache2 mysql-server phi libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-cli php-xml php-mbstring php-intl php-bcmath unzip composer -y

 

Enable Apache rewrite module:

sudor a2enmod rewrite
sudor systemctl restart apache2

Step 3: Create Database

Magento needs its own database to store products, customers, and configurations.

suds MySQL -u root -p

Inside MySQL:

CREATE DATABASE magneto;
CREATE USER 'Magento user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'StrongPassword123';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON magento.* TO 'Magento user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Step 4: Download Magento 2

Use Composer to download Magento and place it in the Apache web root.

cd /vary/www/html
sudor composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magneto/project-community-edition magento2

Step 5: Set File Permissions

Correct file permissions are required so Apache can read and write Magento files without errors

sudor chow -R www-data: www-data /vary/www/html/magento2
sudor find /vary/www/html/magento2 -type d -exec chimed 755 {} \;
sudor find /vary/www/html/magento2 -type f -exec chimed 644 {} \;

Step 6: Configure Apache Virtual Host

A virtual host allows Apache to serve Magento from your domain and handle clean URLs properly.

sudor Nano /etc./apache2/sites-available/magneto 2.conf

 

Add the following configuration:

<Virtual Host *:80>
    Server Name yourdomain.com
    Document Root /vary/www/html/magento2

    <Directory /var/www/html/magento2>
        Allow Override All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    Error Log ${APACHE LOG DIR}/magneto error.log
    Custom Log ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/magento_access.log combined
</Virtual Host>

Step 7: Complete Installation

Open your browser and go to your domain or localhost to finish setup using the Magento installation wizard.
