Magento 2.0 is the next generation open source ecommerce platform, designed to deliver greater speed, scalability and extensibility of its previous version. Here is a step-by-step guide to download and install Magento 2.0 on wamp server:

You might encounter issues like:

Here is how to fix these 2 common issues-

PHP Settings Check- The core issue lies in your current settings of xdebug.max_nesting_level=100 (Magento 2.0 needs it to be 200 or more). To fix this issue, simply edit .htaccess file from the Magento Directory and add ‘php_value xdebug.max_nesting_level 200’ at the bottom of the file. Save, restart your browser and try again.
PHP Extensions Check- This occurs when you have 1 missing extension. You only need to install the missing extension to resolve this issue. There are three ways to fix this
- Open php.ini file and look for extension=php_intl.dll. Simply remove the comma from the start and save file.
- Check php_intl.dll file in wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12. If you find the file missing, download it and paste it here.
- If you still face issues; go to wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12; copy all icu***.dll and paste them into apachae/bin. After making the necessary changes, restart your wamp server and reload the previous page for readiness check. You should get the screen in the next picture.

Magento is an open source ecommerce platform that provides users an unparalleled flexibility to manage the content and customise the look and functionality of their website. The management system of Magento is based on PHP and MySQL and is compatible with Linux, requiring no investments in software licenses.

Although there are numerous advantages of using Magento for ecommerce website development, these three top the list for both businesses and developers;

1. Features– Magento provides ecommerce website features like advanced search, wishlist, favourites, facilitated layered navigation, multi store option, product comparisons, email list and content management system for both static pages and SEO performance.

2. SEO advantage– Websites built on Magento facilitate SEO optimisation of ecommerce sites by providing efficient management of page traffic, indexing, landing pages and duplicate content etc with the help of ‘Magento SEO’.

3. Flexibility– Magento can be easily tailored according to the size, industry and budget requirements of the business. The wide range of themes and templates allow room for customisation. ‘Magento Go’ is suitable for small businesses while ‘Magento Enterprise’ caters to the needs of medium and large businesses.

Besides these, Magento also offers simple order management processes through an Admin panel to create, view, edit and fulfil orders from a single platform.
