Installing Magento 2 sample data via GUI
Installing Magento 2 via the graphical user interface (GUI) is not new. We have already done this in Chapter 1, Installing Magento 2 on Apache and NGINX. Now, we will be installing a new clean version including the sample data.
The sample data can be installed during and at the end of the procedure. We will be using a composer.json file for our setup prerequisites. First, we will be installing a clean version with sample data, and later, I will show you how to install it at the end in case you already have a preinstalled version.
Getting ready
For this recipe, we will use a Droplet created in Chapter 1, Installing Magento 2 on Apache and NGINX, at DigitalOcean, https://www.digitalocean.com/. We will be using NGINX, PHP-FPM, and a Composer-based setup. No other prerequisites are required.
How to do it...
For the first step, you can either create a new Droplet or rebuild a clean Droplet based on a Ubuntu or RedHat DigitalOcean image.
