Akeneo PIM Application

Welcome to Akeneo PIM Product.

This repository is used to develop the Akeneo PIM product. Practically, it means the Akeneo PIM bundles are present in the src/ directory.

If you want to create a new PIM project based on Akeneo PIM, please use http://www.github.com/akeneo/pim-community-standard

If you want to contribute to the Akeneo PIM (and we will be pleased if you do!), you can fork this repository and submit a pull request.

Installation instructions

To install Akeneo PIM for a PIM project or for evaluation, please follow: http://docs.akeneo.com/latest/installation/installation_workstation.html

The following installation overview is for contributing to Akeneo PIM, not for project purpose.

Installation overview

• Make sure all requirements are fullfilled
• Install files and DB content:

    $ curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
    $ git clone [email protected]:akeneo/pim-community-dev.git
    $ cd pim-community-dev
    $ php ../composer.phar install
    $ php app/console pim:install --env=dev
    $ php app/console cache:clear --env=dev

• Create a VirtualHost pointing to your pim-community-dev/web directory and a matching hostname
• Go to http:///app_dev.php to access your dev environment

Note: using the "--prefer-dist" option on composer install can speed up the installation by looking into your local Composer cache.

Note: The pim:install command can be executed several times. You just have to use the --force option. If you want to reinit your db or redeploy your assets, you can launch specific installer commands: pim:installer:db and pim:installer:assets. By default, this script initializes the dev environment.

Add translation packs (optional)

You can download translation packs from crowdin: http://crowdin.net/project/akeneo

The Akeneo PIM archive contains a 'Community' directory.

To add a pack you have to :

• rename the directories by following the rule 'src/Pim/Bundle/EnrichBundle' to 'PimEnrichBundle'
• move this directory to app/Resources/
• run php app/console oro:translation:dump fr de en (if you use en, fr and de locales)

To use a pack :

• go to System > Configuration and select your language

Write permission for the HTTP server

You must give write permission to the Apache user on the following directories:

• app/cache
• app/logs
• app/entities
• app/emails
• web/bundles
• app/uploads/product
• app/archive
