Akeneo PIM Community Edition

Welcome to Akeneo PIM.

This document contains information on how to download, install, and start using Akeneo PIM.

Important Note: this application is not production ready and is intendant for evaluation and development only!

Requirements

Akeneo PIM requires Symfony 2, Doctrine 2 and PHP 5.3.3 or above.

Installation instructions:

Using Composer

[As both Symfony 2 and Akeneo PIM use Composer to manage their dependencies, this is the recommended way to install Akeneo PIM.]

If you don't have Composer yet, download it following the instructions on http://getcomposer.org/ or just run the following command:

curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

• Clone Akeneo PIM project with :

  [email protected]:akeneo/pim-community-standard.git

• Go to app/config folder and create parameters.yml using parameters.yml.dist as example. Update database name and credentials

• Install Akeneo PIM dependencies with composer. If installation process seems too slow you can use "--prefer-dist" option.

  php composer.phar install

• Then initialize application with install script :

  install.sh

After installation you can login as application administrator using user name "admin" and password "admin".

Checking your System Configuration

Before starting to code, make sure that your local system is properly configured for a Symfony application.

Execute the check.php script from the command line:

php app/check.php

If you get any warnings or recommendations, fix them before moving on.
