Magento Installation via SSH |
Before you start, please make sure you substitute the version number to the latest version should it be higher then what is used in the reference post below.
- wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.1.6/magento-1.1.6.tar.gz
- tar -zxvf magento-1.1.6.tar.gz
- cd magento
- chmod o+w var var/.htaccess app/etc

If you are running php4 or php5.1.6 you will need to get the cgi binary and follow the following steps:
Navigate to your cgi-bin directory. If you don’t know where your cgi-bin directory is, ask your hosting provider.
- wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/support/php5cgi/php5-cgi
- chmod 755 php5-cgi
Then you should be set to install.
