Configure the store
First steps
-
Log in to the Magento server as, or switch to, a user who has permissions to write to the Magento file system. One way to do this is to switch to the Magento file system owner.
If you use the bash shell, you can also use the following syntax to switch to the Magento file system owner and enter the command at the same time:
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:
sudo -u <Magento file system owner> <command>
-
To run Magento commands from any directory, add
<your Magento install dir>/bin
to your systemPATH
.Because shells have differing syntax, consult a reference like unix.stackexchange.com.
bash shell example for CentOS:
export PATH=$PATH:/var/www/html/magento2/bin
You can also run the commands in the following ways:
cd <your Magento install dir>/bin
and run them as./magento <command name>
php <your Magento install dir>/bin/magento <command name>
<your Magento install dir>
is a subdirectory of your web server's docroot. Need help locating the docroot? Click here.
In addition to the command arguments discussed here, see Common arguments.
Prerequisites
Before you run this command, you must do all of the following or you must install the Magento software:
Completely secure installation

--use-secure
: Set to1
--base-url-secure

More details about these parameters can be found later in this topic.
