Installation from Git

For development purpose Magento Japanese modules as well as Magento Open Source should be installed from Git. Magento Commerce, Magento B2B and Magento Sample Data modules also may be installed locally and should not conflict.

Magento Japanese repository contains only extensions that are part of the project and not contains whole clone of Magento Open Source. This approach is called Magento Developed Extensions (MDE) and introduced to increase Magento modularity.

Development installation of Magento Japanese modules requires several simple addition steps to set up of Magento Open Source development environment:

1. Switch to Magento root folder:

   cd <magento root folder>

2. Create folder where all MDE extensions will be placed:

   mkdir ext

   To exclude this folder from Git add it to local ignore list:

   echo ext >> ./.git/info/exclude

   Now you still be able to modify source code of Magento Open Source and contribute to GitHub. All MDE (as well as any 3rd party module) may be cloned from GitHub or any other Git repository to ext folder.

3. Configure Composer to discover packages from ext folder:

   # discover projects that consists from single Composer package/modules
   composer config repositories.extRoot '{"type":"path","url":"ext/*/*","options":{"symlink":true}}'
   
   # discover projects that constains multiple Composer packages/modules
   composer config repositories.extPackage '{"type":"path","url":"ext/*/*/*","options":{"symlink":true}}'

4. Configure Composer to use development versions of packages:

   composer config minimum-stability dev

5. Clone source code of Magento Japanese project:

   git clone git@github.com:magento/magento2-jp.git ext/magento/magento2-jp

   We highly recommend to use <vendor>/<project> folders inside ext folder to avoid naming conflicts.

6. Add Magento Japanese project to your Magento installation:

   composer require community-engineering/japan-common:@dev

7. To avoid unintentional commit of modified composer.json and composer.lock files skip them:

   git update-index --skip-worktree composer.json
   git update-index --skip-worktree composer.lock

   If in future you would like to contribute changes to these files you may unskip files:

   git update-index --no-skip-worktree composer.json
   git update-index --no-skip-worktree composer.lock

Now Magento Japanese modules are visible to your development Magento instance and you may modify, pull or push source code from ext/magento/magento2-jp folder.

To complete installation process you should install or upgrade Magento to enabled added modules. If you use CLI for Magento installation you may now skip locale, timezone and currency options as they will be provided by JapaneseDefaultConfig module:

php bin/magento setup:install --admin-firstname=Admin --admin-lastname=Admin --admin-user=admin --admin-email=admin@local.me --admin-password=123123q --base-url="http://<dev host>/" --base-url-secure="https://<dev host>" --use-secure=1 --use-secure-admin=1 --backend-frontname=admin --db-host=localhost --db-name=<db name> --db-user=<db user> --db-password=<db password> --use-rewrites=1
