Installation

From TER

For non-composer installations, you can install the Aimeos distribution using the Extension manager. You can choose Aimeos from the list of available distributions:

Alternatively, you can download the Aimeos TYPO3 distribution package from the TER.

Composer

Note: You need composer 2.1+ to install the latest version of Aimeos. For 20.10 LTS and before, composer 1.x is required.

To install TYPO3 via composer, execute this at the command line

wget https://getcomposer.org/download/latest-stable/composer.phar -O composer
php composer create-project "typo3/cms-base-distribution:^10.4" myshop

to install the required TYPO3 packages. Afterwards, you have to create the FIRST_INSTALL file to be able to run the setup process:

cd myshop
touch public/FIRST_INSTALL

For local installations, you can fire up the internal PHP web server

php -d memory_limit=256M -d max_execution_time=240 -d max_input_vars=1500 -S 127.0.0.1:8000 -t public

and open the URL ("http://127.0.0.1:8000") in your web browser. If you use Apache or another web server, head over directly to the URL your installation is reachable directly without starting the PHP wev server. Complete the TYPO3 setup process before you continue to install the Aimeos distribution.

Up to 20.10 LTS, you need to add this to your composer.json file in the root application directory:

    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "Aimeos\\Aimeos\\Custom\\Composer::install"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "Aimeos\\Aimeos\\Custom\\Composer::install"
        ],
        ...
}

For version 21.7 and later this isn't necessary any more. Now install the Aimeos distribution for TYPO3 via command line:

composer req aimeos/aimeos_dist

Then, activate the extensions and update the database:

./vendor/bin/typo3 extension:activate scheduler
./vendor/bin/typo3 extension:activate aimeos
./vendor/bin/typo3 extension:activate aimeos_dist

Now, your Aimeos installation is complete and you can check the frontend and log into the TYPO3 backend.
