Magento CE 2.1.5 (With Sample Data) Installation

I want to install Magento CE 2.1.5 (with sample data) in my machine Ubuntu 14.04 and PHP 7.0.
Ref: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/install-gde/prereq/zip_install.html

1. Download the installation file from magento website. Here I downloaded the file with sample data in tar.bz2 format
2. Extract the compressed file into your web root. I extract them in ‘magentoce215’ directory.
3. Modify the files permission of ‘magentoce215’ directory. Here I used this command to make it easier for me to deal with the many security issues.
   
   teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~$ sudo chmod -R 777 Documents/works/magentoce215/

   1	teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~$ sudo chmod -R 777 Documents/works/magentoce215/

4. Open it the first time on your browser: http://localhost/works/magentoce215. It’d setup magento for the first time.Click ‘Agree and Setup Magento’ button. It’d bring us to next step, the check install page. Here is the looksI want to make sure anything would be okay so I click ‘Start Readiness Check’ button. It’d check my php version and the php extension I have. It seemed I miss some extensions. Here is the result.I need to sort its out first. Install the missing php extensions.
   
   teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~$ sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-intl php7.0-zip php7.0-gd

   1	teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~$ sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-intl php7.0-zip php7.0-gd

   
   Then don’t forget to restart apache server
   
   teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~$ sudo service apache2 restart

   1	teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~$ sudo service apache2 restart

   
   Back to the browser then click ‘Try Again’ button at the top of the page. If everything okay, I’ll get this page.Then click ‘Next’ button. It’d bring you to the database setting page. That is my database setting. I already created a new database ‘magentoce215’ (utf8-general-ci) via phpmyadmin. Make sure the setting is correct! Then click ‘Next’ button. Oops! I have MySQL Server 5.5.54 that not supported by magento ce 2.1.5. It recommended to use MySQL 5.6.0 or later!SO I NEED TO UPGRADE THE MYSQL VERSION TO MYSQL 5.6.0 OR LATER? OK. I upgraded my MySQL server to 5.7 version. Now everything is fine. Then I got this screen about my local magento web configuration.magento url: http://localhost/works/magentoce215/
   magento admin url: http://localhost/works/magentoce215/admin_dgj2ff
   Then click ‘Next’. Then I modify my store setting like this:I checked ‘Select All’ for ‘Advanced Modules Configuration’ because I want to use the samples data. Then click ‘Next’. Then fill out the admin form.SORRY, ONLY ADMIN CAN SHOW THIS!
   Then click ‘Next’. This is the last page to install magento.Click ‘Install Now’ button. Wait until installation completed and you get the success page.SORRY, ONLY ADMIN CAN SHOW THIS!
   It’s recommended for security, remove write permissions from these directories: ‘/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215/app/etc’.
   When ‘Launch Magento Admin’ button is clicked, it’d go to the admin page (http://localhost/works/magentoce215/admin_dgj2ff).Use your correct username and password to sign in. Here is the main admin page.Somehow I got an error like this:“One or more indexers are invalid. Make sure your Magento cron job is running.”. I think no need to worry right now.
   Here is the main page (http://localhost/works/magentoce215/) looks:
5. Use VirtualHost
   I prefer to use virtualhost so I can open this magento with more pleasing url like http://magentoce215.dev. Here is the step:
   Create an apache file configuration:
   
   sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/magentoce215.dev.conf

   1	sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/magentoce215.dev.conf

   
   Here is the file content:
   
   <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName magentoce215.dev ServerAlias www.magentoce215.dev DocumentRoot "/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215" DirectoryIndex index.php <Directory "/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215"> AllowOverride All Allow from All Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost>

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

   <VirtualHost *:80>     ServerName magentoce215.dev     ServerAlias www.magentoce215.dev     DocumentRoot "/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215"     DirectoryIndex index.php     <Directory "/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215">         AllowOverride All         Allow from All         Require all granted     </Directory> </VirtualHost>

   
   Enable the site:
   
   sudo a2ensite magentoce215.dev

   1	sudo a2ensite magentoce215.dev

   
   Put the url in hosts file
   
   sudo gedit /etc/hosts

   1	sudo gedit /etc/hosts

   
   Here is the line:
   
   127.0.0.1 magentoce215.dev

   1	127.0.0.1 magentoce215.dev

   
   Restart apache server
   
   sudo service apache2 restart

   1	sudo service apache2 restart

   
   We need to clean and flush the cache and build and deploy the static files:
   
   teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~/Documents/works/magentoce215$ sudo su -s /bin/bash www-data www-data@teddy-K43SJ:/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215$ php bin/magento cache:clean www-data@teddy-K43SJ:/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215$ php bin/magento cache:flush www-data@teddy-K43SJ:/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215$ php bin/magento setup:upgrade && php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

   1 2 3 4

   teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~/Documents/works/magentoce215$ sudo su -s /bin/bash www-data www-data@teddy-K43SJ:/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215$ php bin/magento cache:clean www-data@teddy-K43SJ:/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215$ php bin/magento cache:flush www-data@teddy-K43SJ:/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215$ php bin/magento setup:upgrade && php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

   
   Test it on your browser: http://magentoce215.dev
   If there is no change on the url and still use the url:  http://localhost/works/magentoce215, we need to update ‘base-url’ and ‘base-url-secure’ (ref: http://blog.netgloo.com/2016/05/13/magento-2-change-base-url-using-the-command-line/) like this:
   
   www-data@teddy-K43SJ:/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215$ php bin/magento setup:store-config:set --base-url="http://magentoce215.dev/" www-data@teddy-K43SJ:/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215$ php bin/magento setup:store-config:set --base-url-secure="https://magentoce215.dev/" www-data@teddy-K43SJ:/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215$ php bin/magento cache:flush

   1 2 3

   www-data@teddy-K43SJ:/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215$ php bin/magento setup:store-config:set --base-url="http://magentoce215.dev/" www-data@teddy-K43SJ:/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215$ php bin/magento setup:store-config:set --base-url-secure="https://magentoce215.dev/" www-data@teddy-K43SJ:/home/teddy/Documents/works/magentoce215$ php bin/magento cache:flush

   
   Test it again on your browser: http://magentoce215.dev and the admin url is http://magentoce215.dev/admin_dgj2ff
6. The looks are different with the version 1.X. Please read https://www.atwix.com/magento-2/magento-1-vs-magento-2/, https://www.shopping-cart-migration.com/blog/42-magento/43708-the-key-differences-between-magento-1x-and-20, https://www.apptha.com/blog/magento-1-vs-magento-2-for-building-multi-vendor-marketplace/, etc.
7. Create a setup for nginx and php7.0-fpm
   Create the config file
   
   sudo gedit /etc/nginx/sites-available/magentoce215.test

   1	sudo gedit /etc/nginx/sites-available/magentoce215.test

   
   Here is the content:
