Run OpenCart Locally with FlyEnv
OpenCart stores typically need PHP, a MySQL-compatible database, and a local web server. FlyEnv keeps that commerce environment organized around the project.
Local project stack
Services FlyEnv can manage around OpenCart
- PHP
- MySQL / MariaDB
- Nginx / Apache / Caddy
- Node.js
About OpenCart
OpenCart is an open-source e-commerce platform for building online stores.
Project resources
For installation commands, supported versions, and project-specific configuration, refer to the official OpenCart documentation.
Typical local stack
The exact services depend on the project, its release, and its local configuration. This is a common local setup, not a fixed requirement.
- PHP
- MySQL / MariaDB
- Nginx / Apache / Caddy
- Node.js
| Component | Typical role |
|---|---|
| PHP | Runs the OpenCart application. |
| MySQL / MariaDB | Stores catalog, orders, and settings. |
| Nginx / Apache / Caddy | Serves the local store. |
| Node.js | May support custom frontend workflows. |
How FlyEnv helps
