Introduction

This chapter explains how to install Magento 2 on a hosting environment. When installing a new Magento 2 instance, we can use either a Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) or Linux, NGINX, MySQL, PHP (LEMP) setup. Currently, options such as MariaDB or HHVM are equivalent to MySQL or PHP. Only HHVM will be converted in this chapter.

We will install a clean Magento 2 setup on a hosted virtual private server (VPS) for more advanced users and an easy-to-use installation on Hypernode.

The recipes in this chapter will primarily focus on a basic setup of how to install Magento 2. However, in some situations, we will dive in deeper related to the subject.

While Magento requirements differ from Magento 1, we will be using the latest and finest version from PHP, HHVM, NGINX, Apache, Redis, MySQL, and Ubuntu.

Tip

Creating a new Magento 2 stack could bring up minor issues. Always update to the latest available version, if possible.

Ray Bergman is an IT professional and Magento evangelist from the Netherlands. He started working with computers in 1983, as a hobby at first. In the past, he has worked for KPN, a large Dutch Telecom company, as a senior security officer. He has been the CTO of Wild Hibiscus, Netherlands, since 2010, and co-founder and business creator of Yireo until 2011. Jira ICT since 2005, and CTO of SupportDesk B.V, which he co-founded in 2011. At SupportDesk B.V, he is a Magento, Joomla, OroCRM, Web / Server / Mobile Performance specialist, and Security evangelist. His focus during the day is business/product development and training webmasters and consultants about the power of Magento, from the basics up to an advanced level. He has trained over 1000 Magento and 750 Joomla experts worldwide since 2005. During Magento events like Magento Developers Paradise, Meet Magento and Magento Live he is regular speakers since 2009. He has participated in reviewing Mastering Magento (2012), Mastering Magento (2013) the video, Mastering Magento Theme Design (2014), Magento Administration Guide (2014) and Learning Magento Theme Development (2014). The writing of this book was a big thing for me. I spend every free minute with passion in writing this. I had many doubts and thoughts as a dyslexic person to overcome this big challenge. But I never thought that writing this would give me lots of self-esteem, peace and joy. This would not have happened without the loving support and patient of my wife Mette and daughter Belize. Joining forces with my co-writing Vladimir was a lot of fun. Sharing thoughts and inside about our Magento passion was great. Last, but not least, I would like to thank all the people who made this writing possible.
