Chapter 1. Magento 2 System Tools

In this chapter, we will cover the basic tasks related to managing the system tools of Magento 2. You will learn the following recipes:

  • Installing Magento 2 sample data via GUI
  • Installing Magento 2 sample data via the command line
  • Managing Magento 2 indexes via the command line
  • Managing Magento 2 cache via the command line
  • Managing Magento 2 backup via the command line
  • Managing Magento 2 set mode (MAGE_MODE)
  • Transferring your Magento 1 database to Magento 2

Introduction

This chapter explains how to install and manage Magento 2 on a production-like environment. We will be installing a new Magento 2 instance via the shell command with and without sample data. Besides the setup, managing Magento 2 is different from the current Magento version. We will be using a lot of tools from the command line so basic shell knowledge is advised. The command-line tool in the /bin directory is similar to the current Swiss army knife tool in the current Magento version known as n98-magerun.

Using bin/magento and Composer is one of the new key features in Magento 2 that will rock your world.

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

Here is an overview of all the command-line tools in Magento 2:

root@mage2cookbook:/var/www/html# bin/magento
Magento CLI version 2.0.0

Usage:
 command [options] [arguments]

Options:
 --help (-h)       Display this help message
 --quiet (-q)      Do not output any message
 --verbose (-v|vv|vvv) Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug
 --version (-V)    Display this application version
 --ansi        Force ANSI output
 --no-ansi       Disable ANSI output
 --no-interaction (-n) Do not ask any interactive question
