Terminal install Typo3

new_gist_file_0

Open the terminal

Move downloaded typo3_src-6.2.4.zip to host's root

mv ~/Downloads/typo3_src-6.2.4.zip /Application/MAMP/htdocs/typo3/
Go to destination folder:

cd /Application/MAMP/htdocs/typo3/
Still in this location unzip downloaded package (you can remove zip file after that)

unzip typo3_src-6.2.4.zip
Still in this location create a symlink to that extracted directory with name typo3_src :

ln -s typo3_src-6.2.4 typo3_src
Still in this location create a symlink to index.php pointing file in created symlink:

ln -s typo3_src/index.php index.php
Still in this location create a symlink to typo3 folder pointing folder in created symlink:

ln -s typo3_src/typo3 typo3
Still in this location copy file _.htaccess from source folder to host's root:

cp typo3_src/_.htaccess ./
Still in this location copy file composer.json from source folder to host's root:

cp typo3_src/composer.json ./
Still in this location create file FIRST_INSTALL

touch FIRST_INSTALL
That's it! Open the host in the browser and start the configuration

After all the steps your file structure should look like (command ls -la):

FIRST_INSTALL
_.htaccess
composer.json
index.php -> typo3_src/index.php
typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3
typo3_src -> typo3_src-6.2.4
typo3_src-6.2.4
NOTE: try to avoid using name typo3 as a folder name for host's root, it's better to use name according to project i.e.: /Application/MAMP/htdocs/my-project-1/
