Setting up a local development environment for Magento? It’s way too difficult! It takes so long to set up, is very hard to configure, and causes issues when working with teams of developers.

So, I created one for Magento, which is now the most popular Magento project on GitHub besides Magento itself. It works for both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce.

In this video course, we’ll walk through the different ways you can install Magento. Then we’ll configure PHPStorm with Xdebug, and learn about the helper scripts that eliminate the need to fully understand Docker. Finally, we'll go over customizing config files & installing custom plugins for your own online store.

Standardize development environments

When everyone on your team is using a different setup, things don’t run smoothly. Issues with one developer’s environment can take many hours to diagnose and throw your entire project off schedule.

Make things smoother by using a standard development environment across your entire team.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to understand Docker to take this course?
Docker experience is helpful but not necessary. The bash helper scripts included in docker-magento abstract away most of the Docker commands. This allows you to focus on what you do best: programming Magento and getting your storefront up & operational.
Will this work with Mac, Windows & Linux?
The course assumes you are running macOS, but works just fine on Linux with some tweaks. It also works on Windows with WSL 2.
How much does the course cost?
The course is completely free! Enjoy.
