The n98 magerun cli tools provides some handy tools to work with Magento from command line.

Latest Release

Development Branch

The tools will automatically be tested for multiple PHP versions (5.3, 5.4, 5.5). It's currently currently running in various Linux distributions and Mac OS X. Microsoft Windows is not fully supported (some Commands like db:dump or install are excluded).

The tool partially works with Magento 2 development branch.

There are two ways to install the tools:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netz98/n98-magerun/master/n98-magerun.phar

or if you have problems with SSL certificate:

curl -o n98-magerun.phar https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netz98/n98-magerun/master/n98-magerun.phar

You can make the .phar file executable.

chmod +x ./n98-magerun.phar

If you want to use command system wide you can copy it to /usr/local/bin.

sudo cp ./n98-magerun.phar /usr/local/bin/

Debian / suhosin:

On some debian systems with compiled in suhosin the phar extension must be added to a whitelist.

Add this to your php.ini file:

suhosin.executor.include.whitelist="phar"

You don't like the filename?

Just rename it to whatever you want.

https://github.com/netz98/n98-magerun/wiki/Install-from-source-with-Composer

Since version 1.1.0 we deliver a self-update script within the phar file:

$ n98-magerun.phar self-update

If file was installed system wide do not forget "sudo".

All commands try to detect the current Magento root directory. If you have multiple Magento installation you must change your working directory to the preferred installation.

https://github.com/netz98/n98-magerun/wiki/Commands

You can list all available commands by:

$ n98-magerun.phar list

If you don't have installed the .phar file system wide you can call it with the php cli interpreter:

php n98-magerun.phar list

$ n98-magerun.phar open-browser [store]

Loads basic customer info by email address.

$ n98-magerun.phar  customer:info [email] [website]

Use compression (gzip cli tool has to be installed):

$ n98-magerun.phar db:dump --compression="gzip"

Dumps your database and excludes some tables. This is useful i.e. for development.

Separate each table to strip by a space. You can use wildcards like * and ? in the table names to strip multiple tables. In addition you can specify pre-defined table groups, that start with an @ Example: "dataflow_batch_export unimportant_module* @log

$ n98-magerun.phar db:dump --strip="@stripped"

Available Table Groups:

• @log Log tables

• @stripped Standard definition for a stripped dump (logs, sessions and dataflow)
• @sales Sales data (orders, invoices, creditmemos etc)
• @customers Customer data
• @trade Current trade data (customers and orders). You usally do not want those in developer systems.
• @search Search related tables (catalogsearch)
• @development Removes logs, sessions and trade data so developers do not have to work with real customer data

• Try to create database if it does not exist.
• Installs Magento sample data if available (since version 1.2.0).
• Starts Magento installer
• Sets rewrite base in .htaccess file

Interactive installer:

$ n98-magerun.phar install

Unattended installation:

$ n98-magerun.phar install [--magentoVersion[="..."]] [--magentoVersionByName[="..."]] [--installationFolder[="..."]] [--dbHost[="..."]] [--dbUser[="..."]] [--dbPass[="..."]] [--dbName[="..."]] [--installSampleData[="..."]] [--useDefaultConfigParams[="..."]] [--baseUrl[="..."]] [--replaceHtaccessFile[="..."]]

Example of an unattended Magento CE 1.7.0.2 installation:

Additionally, with --noDownload option you can install Magento working copy already stored in --installationFolder on the given database.

See it in action: http://youtu.be/WU-CbJ86eQc

Uninstalls Magento: Drops your database and recursive deletes installation folder.

$ n98-magerun.phar uninstall [-f|--force] [--installationFolder[="..."]]

Please be careful: This removes all data from your installation.

If you need autocompletion for all n98-magerun commands you can start with "shell command".

$ n98-magerun.phar shell

Run multiple commands from a script file.

$ n98-magerun.phar [-d|--define[="..."]] [--stop-on-error] [filename]

Example:

# Set multiple config
config:set "web/cookie/cookie_domain" example.com

# Set with multiline values with "\n"
config:set "general/store_information/address" "First line\nSecond line\nThird line"

# This is a comment
cache:flush

Optionally you can work with unix pipes.

$ echo "cache:flush" | n98-magerun-dev script

$ n98-magerun.phar script < filename

It is even possible to create executable scripts:

Create file test.magerun and make it executable (chmod +x test.magerun):

#!/usr/bin/env n98-magerun.phar script

config:set "web/cookie/cookie_domain" example.com
cache:flush

# Run a shell script with "!" as first char
! ls -l

# Register your own variable (only key = value currently supported)
${my.var}=bar

# Let magerun ask for variable value - add a question mark
${my.var}=?

! echo ${my.var}

# Use resolved variables from n98-magerun in shell commands
! ls -l ${magento.root}/code/local

Pre-defined variables:

• ${magento.root} -> Magento Root-Folder
• ${magento.version} -> Magento Version i.e. 1.7.0.2
• ${magento.edition} -> Magento Edition -> Community or Enterprise
• ${magerun.version} -> Magerun version i.e. 1.66.0
• ${php.version} -> PHP Version
• ${script.file} -> Current script file path
• ${script.dir} -> Current script file dir

Variables can be passed to a script with "--define (-d)" option.

Example:

$ n98-magerun.phar script -d foo=bar filename

# This will register the variable ${foo} with value bar.

It's possible to define multiple values by passing more than one option.

You can organize your scripts in a repository. Simply place a script in folder /usr/local/share/n98-magerun/scripts or in your home dir in folder <HOME>/.n98-magerun/scripts.

Scripts must have the file extension .magerun.

After that you can list all scripts with the script:repo:list command. The first line of the script can contain a comment (line prefixed with #) which will be displayed as description.

$ n98-magerun.phar script:repo:list [--format[="..."]]

If you want to execute a script from repository this can be done by script:repo:run command.

$ n98-magerun.phar script:repo:run [-d|--define[="..."]] [--stop-on-error] [script]

Script argument is optional. If you don't specify any you can select one from a list.

Copy the file bash_complete as n98-magerun.phar in your bash autocomplete folder. In my Ubuntu system this can be done with the following command:

$ sudo cp autocompletion/bash/bash_complete /etc/bash_completion.d/n98-magerun.phar

An commandline tool autocompletion XML file for PHPStorm exists in subfolder autocompletion/phpstorm. Copy n98_magerun.xml in your phpstorm config folder.

Linux: ~/.WebIde50/config/commandlinetools

You can also add the XML content over settings menu. For further instructions read this blog post: http://blog.jetbrains.com/webide/2012/10/integrating-composer-command-line-tool-with-phpstorm/

https://github.com/netz98/n98-magerun/wiki/Add-custom-commands

Create the yaml config file ~/.n98-magerun.yaml. Now you can define overwrites. The original config file is config.yaml in the source root folder.

Change of i.e. default currency and admin users:

commands:
  N98\Magento\Command\Installer\InstallCommand:
    installation:
      defaults:
        currency: USD
        admin_username: myadmin
        admin_firstname: Firstname
        admin_lastname: Lastname
        admin_password: mydefaultSecret
        admin_email: defaultemail@example.com

Create the yaml config file ~/.n98-magerun.yaml. Now you can define overwrites. The original config file is config.yaml in the source root folder.

Add you repo. The keys in the config file following the composer package structure.

Example:

commands:
  N98\Magento\Command\Installer\InstallCommand:
    magento-packages:
      - name: my-magento-git-repository
        version: 1.x.x.x
