Installation instructions

To install Akeneo PIM for a PIM project or for evaluation, please follow: http://docs.akeneo.com/installation/installation_workstation.html

The following installation overview is for contributing to Akeneo PIM, not for project purpose.

Installation overview

• Make sure all requirements are fullfilled
• Install files and DB content:

    $ curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
    $ git clone git@github.com:akeneo/pim-community-dev.git
    $ cd pim-community-dev
    $ php ../composer.phar install
    $ php app/console pim:install --env=dev
    $ php app/console cache:clear --env=dev

• Create a VirtualHost pointing to your pim-community-dev/web directory and a matching hostname
• Go to http:///app_dev.php to access your dev environment

Note: using the "--prefer-dist" option on composer install can speed up the installation by looking into your local Composer cache.

Note: The pim:install command can be executed several times if you need to reinit your db or redeploy your assets. You just have to use the --force option. By default, this script initializes the dev environment.

Add translation packs (optional)

You can download translation packs from crowdin: http://crowdin.net/project/akeneo

The Akeneo PIM archive contains the following directories tree: <locale>/<version>/<translation_directories> You just have to paste the <translation_directories> in your app/Resources/ directory.

Write permission for the HTTP server

You must give write permission to the Apache user on the following directories:

• app/cache
• app/logs
• app/entities
• app/import
• app/export
• app/emails
• web/bundles
