Installing Magento
Step 4. This will take you to a Magento installation form. You will have to fill in the fields to complete the installation process.
Let’s break down the various fields available:
Choose the version you want to install – Here, from the drop-down menu, you can select the Magento version you’d like.
Choose Installation URL – From this field, you will select the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS), the domain name you are installing Magento on, and the “In Directory” section you can specify if you’d like to have the installation be done in a folder under the domain name instead of directly on it. (Example: testsite.com/magento instead of just testsite.com)
CRON Job – This is where you enter specific settings about the CRON Job interval. If you do not know the specifics, it is better to leave it as default.
Admin Path – Input the specific path that you will use as an administrative URL. For example, if it is set to admin123, you will access the Magento Admin page by typing in /admin123 at the end of the domain name.
Sample Data – Magento sample data provides a storefront based on the Luma theme outfitted with products, categories, customer registration, and so on. It functions just like a Magento storefront, and you can manipulate prices, inventory, and promotional pricing rules using the Magento Admin. You have to click the checkbox to turn it on.
Admin Username – You can select your administration area username here.
Admin Password – You can select the administration area password here.
First Name – You can set the first name for the Admin Account.
Last Name – You can set the last name for the Admin Account.
Admin E-mail – You can type down the e-mail address that you will use for the Admin Account.
Step 5. Click on the “Install” button at the bottom of the installation page to complete the process.
*Note: If everything is in the proper order, it should begin the installation and fill up the progress bar to 100%, however sometimes there might be error messages that have to be addressed, which will prevent the installation process from starting. You can contact our technical support team for further assistance in those cases.
