Magento Bash Script Installer

This is an old revision of the document!

The following SSH script will automate the process of installing Magento, with or without sample data. It will walk you through everything, and the only thing you need to setup first is the database and assign a user to the database.

You will need SSH access to use this. SSH is similar to FTP, in that it requires software that you’ll need to download in order to connect to your site. If you don’t have an SSH client, you can download PuTTY for free.

Once you connect to your site via SSH, simply go to the directory where you want to install Magento.

By default, when you connect to your site you’re placed in your home directory. Files and directories in here are usually not accessible from a browser, so you will need to change to a public HTML directory.

For cPanel users, you would simply type the following to get to your root web directory:

  1. cd public_html/

So if you wanted Magento to be the first thing that came up when a visitor went to your site, you would stay in this directory.

If you wanted Magento installed in a subdirectory, you would need to create it first (assuming it didn’t exist):

  1. mkdir store/

And then change into that directory:

  1. cd store/

Once you’re in the directory where you want Magento installed, you’ll need to copy and paste the following in to a file and set the permissions on it.

To create the file, type the following:

  1. vi install

Hit the I key to insert data. Copy the following code and paste it in your SSH window, either by right-clicking or hitting Shift + Insert:

  1. #!/bin/bash
  3. clear
  4.  
  5. stty erase '^?'
  6.  
  7. echo "To install Magento, you will need a blank database ready with a user assigned to it."
  8.  
  9. echo
  10. echo -n "Do you have all of your database information? (y/n) "
  11.  
  12. read dbinfo
  13.  
  14. if [ "$dbinfo" == "y" ]; then
  15.     echo
  16.    
  17.     echo -n "Database Host (usually localhost): "
  18.     read dbhost
  19.    
  20.     echo -n "Database Name: "
  21.     read dbname
  22.    
  23.     echo -n "Database User: "
  24.     read dbuser
  25.    
  26.     echo -n "Database Password: "
  27.     read dbpass
  28.    
  29.     echo -n "Store URL: "
  30.     read url
  31.    
  32.     echo -n "Admin Username: "

  36.     read adminpass
  37.    
  38.     echo -n "Admin First Name: "
  39.     read adminfname
  40.    
  41.     echo -n "Admin Last Name: "
  42.     read adminlname

  45.     read adminemail
  46.

  48.     read sample

  220.     exit
  221. fi

Hit the Esc key to exit out of insert mode.

Type the following to save the file and exit back to the prompt:

  1. :x

Hit the Enter key after you’ve typed that in.

Now set the permissions:

  1. chmod +x install

Next, run the installation script:

  1. ./install

When you’re done, delete the installer script:

  1. rm -f install

NOTE: If you’re having trouble getting this to work, Nick Weisser made the following suggestion:

I tried the installer on Debian Etch and had a problem with the php-cli command. After changing php-cli to php it would install without any problems.

Nick is talking about the actual code in the script, so you will need to change the following:

  1. php-cli -f install.php --

...to this:

  1. php -f install.php --

This is listed twice in the code.
