Bitnami Magento Module is a freely distributed and multiplatform software project that allows users to deploy the Magento e-commerce software on top of an existing Bitnami LAMP, WAMP and MAMP installation. The Magento module offered by Bitnami supports GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
What is Magento?
Powered by eBay, Magento is a powerful, open source and flexible web-based e-commerce platform designed for those who seek complete control and flexibility over the functionality, content and look of their online store. Key features include support for multiple stores, catalog management, marketing tools, flexible shopping cart, SEO-friendly URLs, and in-depth analytics.
Installing Bitnami Magento Module
To install the Magento module on top of your Bitnami LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) server, simply download the native installer that corresponds to your computer’s hardware architecture, make it executable, run it and follow the instructions displayed on the screen. Please note that this Magento module is supported on any GNU/Linux distribution, running on 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms.
Virtualize Magento or run it in the cloud
A virtual appliance for VMware ESX, ESXi and VirtualBox virtualization software, based on the latest stable version of Ubuntu Linux, allows you to virtualize Magento. Thanks to Bitnami, users can also run Magento in the cloud, simply by using the pre-build cloud images for Amazon EC2 and Windows Azure cloud hosting services.
The Bitnami Magento Stack and Docker container
Besides the Bitnami Magento Module distributed on this page, you can also search Softpedia for Bitnami Magento Stack, a native, all-in-one solution that greatly simplifies the deployment of the Magento application and its runtime dependencies.
Both the Bitnami Magento Module and Bitnami Magento Stack native installers have been packaged using BitRock’s cross platform installer tool. A Magento Docker container will be available for download on the project’s page.
