Quick Magento Installation
As part of work I have to install Magento with its sample data a lot for proof of concepts, while the installation is simple it can quickly become a chore. Because of this I have started to use n98-magerun. It can be installed using the following commands;
curl -o n98-magerun.phar https://raw.github.com/netz98/n98-magerun/master/n98-magerun.pharchmod +x ./n98-magerun.pharcp ./n98-magerun.phar /usr/local/bin/n98-magerun.phar self-update
Once installed you can do clean installation by running the following command where you would like Magento to be installed;
n98-magerun.phar install
