Installation

Installation via Composer

Installation via Composer is recommended.

composer require sharethis/magento-sharethis-sharebuttons
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

Installation via Github

Alternatively, you can install via cloning from Github.

mkdir -p app/code/ShareThis
git clone git@github.com:sharethis-github/magento-sharethis-share-buttons.git app/code/ShareThis/ShareButtons
composer install -d app/code/ShareThis/ShareButtons

Contributing

This repo comes with a built-in Docker-based development environment. First, clone the repo.

git clone git@github.com:sharethis-github/magento-sharethis-share-buttons.git
cd magento-sharethis-share-buttons

Add the host entry for site:

127.0.0.1   magento.local

Next, build Magento.

make prepare

Now that the containers are built, let's set up the admin:

make init

Once that's done, we can populate the site with sample data. This will take at least 20 minutes. Make sure you set your Docker resources high (8GB RAM at least).

make populate

NOTE: This command will ask for your Magento credentials. Visit https://marketplace.magento.com/customer/accessKeys/ and copy the Public Key and Private Key in as the Username and Password respectively.

Once this is done, your store will be populated with sample data and you can log in with credentials populated from the MAGENTO_ADMIN_USERNAME and MAGENTO_ADMIN_PASSWORD values from the env file.
