Demo Enterprise Installation

The demo enterprise package includes all enterprise extensions, Pimcore Studio, and pre-built blueprints showcasing advanced features. All Docker services (OpenSearch, Mercure, Redis, Gotenberg, Supervisord) are pre-configured. It requires credentials for the Pimcore enterprise repository.

Step 1: Create the Project​

Configure enterprise repository credentials and create the project. Replace <YOUR_USERNAME> and <YOUR_TOKEN> with your Pimcore enterprise credentials:

docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/var/www/html -it pimcore/pimcore:php8.5-latest sh -c \
  'composer --global config repositories.pimcore composer https://repo.pimcore.com/<YOUR_USERNAME>/ ; \
   composer create-project --no-scripts pimcore/demo-enterprise my-project \
   --repository="{\"url\": \"https://token:<YOUR_TOKEN>@repo.pimcore.com/<YOUR_USERNAME>/\", \"type\": \"composer\"}" \
   -n --ignore-platform-req=php --no-scripts'

Switch to the project directory:

cd my-project/

Step 2: Configure and Start Docker Services​

  1. Run echo `id -u`:`id -g` to retrieve your local user and group ID.
  2. Open docker-compose.yaml, uncomment all user: '1000:1000' lines, and update the IDs if they differ from your local user.
  3. Start the services:
docker compose up -d

The demo enterprise docker-compose.yaml already includes all required services (MariaDB, Redis, OpenSearch, Mercure, Gotenberg, Supervisord for messenger workers).

Step 3: Run the Installer​

Run the Pimcore installer with the demo enterprise profile:

docker compose exec php vendor/bin/pimcore-install \
  --install-profile='App\Installer\DemoEnterpriseProfile'

The installer will interactively prompt for all required configuration values. Product registration is mandatory and the installer requires a valid product key before installation can complete. See Product Registration for details.

The installer automatically:

  • Writes all configuration to .env.local
  • Imports the demo enterprise database (pre-built content and blueprints)
  • Installs and registers all bundles
  • Creates the database schema and admin user
  • Installs assets, builds search indices, and runs all post-install commands

This can take up to 20 minutes for the demo enterprise package.

For non-interactive (CI) installations, set env vars in .env or docker-compose.yaml before running the installer with --no-interaction. See Advanced Installation Topics for the full list of supported environment variables.
