There are two ways of installing Mercur: the CLI script or manual installation.

Follow these steps to install and run all Mercur components on your operating system:

Step 1: Install mercur-cli using NPM:

npm i -g mercur-cli

Step 2: Run CLI installation:

mercur-cli install

or

npx mercur-cli install

The script will guide you through the installation process. You will have to enter project name and database connection parameters. Also, you’ll be asked if you want to install Mercur Storefront and Vendor panel.

Step 3: After installation is done, move to the project catalog and start the servers:

cd <yourProjectName>

mercur-cli dev

The script automatically configures environment variables, and runs seed. The default credentials for created users are:

Vendor:

email: seller@mercurjs.com
password: secret

Admin:

email: admin@mercurjs.com
password: admin
