Getting Started<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, you will need to login to your server via SSH as the root user:<\/p>\n<pre>ssh root@IP_ADDRESS -p PORT_NUMBER<\/pre>\n<p>and replace \u201cIP_ADDRESS\u201d and \u201cPORT_NUMBER\u201d with your actual server IP address and SSH port number.<\/p>\n<p>Once logged in, let\u2019s make sure that your Ubuntu 18.04 server is up-to-date by running the following commands:<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo apt-get update\r\n$ sudo apt-get upgrade<\/pre>\n<p>This will update the package index and will update the software currently installed on the server to the latest version.<\/p>\n<p>Once your system is fully up-to-date, we can now proceed with the OpenCart installation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Install-the-MySQL-Database-Server\"><\/span>2. Install the MySQL Database Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Next, we will install the MySQL server. To install the default package, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server<\/pre>\n<p>This will install MySQL 5.7 on your server, but it will not prompt you to set a password or make any other configuration changes. Because this leaves your installation of MySQL insecure, in order to improve the security of your MySQL server, we recommend that you run the \u2018<strong>mysql_secure_installation<\/strong>\u2018 script by typing the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>$ mysql_secure_installation<\/pre>\n<p>This script will help you to perform important security tasks like setting up a root password, disable remote root login, remove anonymous users, etc.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Create-a-Database-for-OpenCart\"><\/span>3. Create a Database for OpenCart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now, we will create our MySQL database for our OpenCart site. Log in to your MySQL server with the following command and enter your MySQL root password:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n<p>In this section, we will create a new MySQL database <code>opencart<\/code> and assign user access to it to a new user <code>admin_user<\/code> with the\u00a0password <code>Strong_Password<\/code>:<\/p>\n<pre>CREATE DATABASE opencart;\r\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON opencart.* TO 'admin_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Strong_Password';\r\nFLUSH PRIVILEGES;\r\nexit;<\/pre>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to replace \u2018Strong_Password\u2019 with an actual strong password.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Install-Apache-and-PHP\"><\/span>4.
