With just a single PHP file, you can install the platform with minimal setup, as long as your hosting environment is ready. It’s a great option for quick demos or testing ideas. Just keep in mind that this convenience comes with less control over your setup, which can become a limitation as you scale.

Docker-based setup (recommended)

Choose the Docker path if you want full control and scalability from the start. It gives you the flexibility to build, scale, and manage your environment the way modern commerce projects demand. With clean upgrade paths, structured staging, and smooth CI/CD integration, it’s the go-to option for anyone building for long-term growth.
