PHP >= 8.2
MySQL >= 5.7.8, MariaDB >= 10.2.2, PostgreSQL 9.6+, SQL Server 2019+

If you want to upgrade between major versions, please have a look into the upgrade guide!

Installation

To install the Aimeos shop application, you need composer 2.2+. On the CLI, execute this command for a complete installation including a working setup:

wget https://getcomposer.org/download/latest-stable/composer.phar -O composer
php composer create-project aimeos/aimeos-headless headless

You will be asked for the parameters of your database and mail server as well as an e-mail and password used for creating the administration account.

In a local environment, you can use the integrated PHP web server to test your new Aimeos installation. Simply execute the following command to start the web server:

cd headless
php artisan serve

Note: In an hosting environment, the document root of your virtual host must point to the /.../headless/public/ directory and you have to change the APP_URL setting in your .env file to your domain without port, e.g.:

APP_URL=http://myhostingdomain.com

JSON REST API

After the installation, you can test the Aimeos JSON REST API by calling the URL of your VHost in your browser. If you use the integrated PHP web server, you should browse this URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/jsonapi

Learn how to use the JSON REST API

Authenticate

To authenticate using e-mail and password, send a POST request:

curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login?email=me@localhost&password=test"

If the authentication was successful, the API will return with a response like this:

{"access_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV...","token_type":"bearer","expires_in":3600}

Use this access token in all further requests as HTTP header:

curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/me" -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV..."

Backend

The Aimeos administration interface will be available at /admin in your VHost. When using the integrated PHP web server, call this URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin

Cloud filesystems

To use cloud storage like AWS S3 compatible object storages, adapt the resource/fs sections in the ./config/shop.php file and configure the filesystem like this:

composer req ai-filesystem league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3

'fs' => [
	'adapter' => 'FlyAwsS3',
	'credentials' => [
		'key' => 'your-key',
		'secret' => 'your-secret',
	],
	'region' => 'your-region',
	'version' => 'latest|api-version',
	'bucket' => 'your-bucket-name',
	'prefix' => 'your-prefix', // optional
    'baseurl' => 's3-domain-and-path'
],

For Azure Blob storage use:

composer req ai-filesystem league/flysystem-azure-blob-storage

'fs' => [
	'adapter' => 'FlyAzure',
	'endpoint' => 'DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=your-account;AccountKey=your-api-key',
	'container' => 'your-container',
	'prefix' => 'your-prefix', // optional
    'baseurl' => 'azure-domain-and-path'
],

And for Google Cloud storage:

composer req ai-filesystem league/flysystem-google-cloud-storage

'fs' => [
	'adapter' => 'FlyGoogleCloud',
	'keyFile' => json_decode(file_get_contents('/path/to/keyfile.json'), true), // alternative
	'keyFilePath' => '/path/to/keyfile.json', // alternative
	'projectId' => 'myProject', // alternative
	'prefix' => 'your-prefix' // optional
    'baseurl' => 'gcloud-domain-and-path'
],
