Install Elasticsearch

Download Elasticsearch from Elasticsearch 7.6.0 Magento 2.4.x is tested with Elasticsearch 7.6.x only. You can use other 7.x versions at your discretion, but we recommend using the tested version of Elasticsearch.

Extract the .zip file you’ve just downloaded. Let assume we extract the files on D:\elasticsearch-7.6.0. You can extract files anywhere you want but it recommend to extract on the stable location.

Run the below command via cmd go to D:\elasticsearch-7.6.0\bin\ and enter elasticsearch.bat to run the elasticsearch.

When the installation is complete, you can check if Elasticsearch is properly installed at http://localhost:9200, which should give you something like this:

{
  "name" : "SS-MOHAN",
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "cluster_uuid" : "hfUCb5t7Q26PrH9iJrHkqQ",
  "version" : {

    "build_flavor" : "default",
    "build_type" : "zip",

  },

Download Magento repo via Composer

As some of the plugins from Magento 2 do not work with composer 2.x, you’ll want to use a stable version of composer 1.x to download Magento.

Get 1.x composer from https://getcomposer.org/download/ and save it where you can access through cmd.

Note If you put the file on the root of the project it won’t able to install on the same directory. Therefore place on the somewhere path for the first intallation. After that you can place it on the root directory of the poject.

Create a account or login with Magento account generate a accessKeys

In addition you may clone from github https://developer.adobe.com/commerce/contributor/guides/install/clone-repository/

cd D:\Project\magento\

php composer.phar create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition=2.4. ./

** Note** Adjust your composer path (i.e. php ../composer.phar). If we did not add installation path ./ at last it will be installed on new directory project-community-edition.

After entering the command, it will asked you the Public Key and Private Key that we created earlier. A prompt will be asked to save the credentials into auth.json and type yes to save it. It will download all resources and files of the Magento repo/project.

Install Magento store using command

Before proceed installation, there are several files that need to tweak.

Find validateURLScheme function in this file \vendor\magento\framework\Image\Adapter\Gd2.php and replace it with:

private function validateURLScheme(string $filename) : bool
{
	$allowed_schemes = ['ftp', 'ftps', 'http', 'https'];
	$url = parse_url($filename);
	if ($url && isset($url['scheme']) && !in_array($url['scheme'], $allowed_schemes) && !file_exists($filename)) {
		return false;
	}
}

Find $realPath variable in vendor\magento\framework\View\Element\Template\File\Validator.php and replace with:

$realPath = str_replace('\\', '/',$this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path));

Run the below command to setup the store.

php -d memory_limit=-1 -d opcache.enable_cli=0 bin/magento setup:install --base-url=http://magento.loc/ --db-host=localhost --db-name=magento_test --db-user=root --db-password= --admin-firstname=Frontend --admin-lastname=Developer --admin-email=your.email@example.com --admin-user=admin --admin-password=admin123 --language=en_US --currency=USD --timezone=America/Chicago --use-rewrites=1 --backend-frontname=admin --cleanup-database
