About PrestaShop
PrestaShop is a PHP e-commerce platform for merchants operating product catalogs, orders, payments, shipping, and promotions. Its modules and themes let stores adapt the storefront and back office without replacing the commerce core.
A local PrestaShop store commonly needs PHP, MySQL or MariaDB, a web server, and a store-specific URL. Module and theme work should preserve the database and image assets; Node.js belongs only to projects that use it for theme asset tooling.

A PrestaShop environment is a working store
Catalog state, modules, theme assets, and browser behavior need to be available together to test a change realistically.
- PHP web server
- Run the store with the PHP version and extensions supported by its PrestaShop release.
- MySQL or MariaDB
- Holds products, customers, orders, configuration, and module data.
- Store URL and image files
- Use a local domain for storefront behavior and preserve product image paths while testing imports or themes.
- Theme asset tools when used
- Node.js is optional and should be started only for themes or frontend workflows that declare it.
Project resources
For installation commands, supported versions, and project-specific configuration, refer to the official PrestaShop 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.
