[Tutorial] How to install Magento with Laragon

[leokhoa]

In this tutorial I use Laragon 3.1.x and Magento 2.2.3
Note: Magento require mod_version for Apache, and soap extension for PHP. You can enable them easily with Laragon.
Here's how:

1. Download Magento: https://magento.com/tech-resources/download (Magento Open Source 2.2.3.zip (87.17 MB))
2. Extract it to: C:\www\laragon\magento
3. Go to http://magento.test (or http://localhost/magento: OLD WAY)
   If you see 500 error, just enable mod_version in (Menu > Apache > httpd.conf) and Reload Apache

LoadModule version_module modules/mod_version.so

4. Now you should see the installation page, click "Agree and Setup Magento":
   

5. Click "Start Readiness Check", you'll see a failed check as Magento 2.2.3 needs soap extension. No worry, just click (Menu > PHP > Extensions > soap) to enable it (with Laragon, you don't need to Reload Apache):
   

6. Click "Try Again", now everything should be OK - Click "Next"
7. Create magento database in (Menu > MySQL > Create database).
   From that time, you only need to click "Next" to process.

That's all forks.
