Installing Magento2 - The quick way

magento2_install

So we all hate reading docs. Here is the quick setup for installing Magento2. If you want the long route - http://devdocs.magento.com/

I'm assuming you have composer, PHP 5.4+ and MySQL5.6+.  If you have MAMP installed time to go sort that as it wont work (MAMP is on MySQL5.5.x).

1. Install Composer -  curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
2. mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer  (might need to sudo)
3. Goto base httpdocs directory
4. git clone [email protected]:magento/magento2.git
5. Set permissions (like you do in Magento 1.x)
6. cd magento2
7. composer install
8. Create a blank DB
9. Edit setup/index.php and add this - ini_set('xdebug.max_nesting_level', 200);
10. Navigate to magento install in browser and kick off the wizard
11. Hurrah
