Shopware 6 consists of multiple repositories, two of them are important to you:
shopware/platform
is a mono repository
A full installation guide covering different dev environments is available in the docs.
For the impatient reader, here is a tl;dr using docker and symfony cli.
Let's start by creating a new project:
> composer create-project shopware/production:dev-flex project
You now have the application template for the Shopware Platform in the directory project
, we now change into it:
> cd project
Now we start our service containers:
> docker compose up -d
And install Shopware with the following command:
symfony console system:install --basic-setup --drop-database --create-database -f
Start the webserver:
symfony server:start -d
To be sure that the installation succeeded, just open the following URL in your favorite browser: localhost:8000
Now you're all set to start developing your first plugin.
Shopware 6 will continue to evolve together with you and your feedback. This is our number one priority!
With openness as one of our core values, we will always provide you with a transparent overview of our product development. The Shopware Roadmap shows you what we are working on, what we want to tackle next, and what visions we have for the future.
Take a look at the current roadmap here.
In today’s information-based world, you cannot thrive in closed systems. Black boxes and vendor lock-in models hurt innovation – and belong in the dark ages of ecommerce.
The future of IT is all about collaboration. At Shopware, we believe that the best ecommerce solution can only be developed in constant exchange with the people that use it every day. This is why we made a clear promise to the open source approach and embrace everyone willing to participate. We consider our community to be our greatest strength; not our competitor, like many companies tend to do.
We believe that our open source edition is our strongest asset and that we need, now more than ever, to invest in our ecosystem of partners and developers. So that we can work together to collaborate across backgrounds, experiences and ideas and mutually benefit from the software that results.

The installation process is slightly different for working on the platform. It's not necessary to create a new project and install the platform as a dependency. Instead, we will work on it directly.
Let's start by cloning the platform repository
> git clone [email protected]:shopware/platform.git shopware-platform
Change directory into our newly cloned project:
> cd shopware-platform
Install the Composer dependencies
> composer update
Now we start our service containers:
> docker compose up -d
Now, set up the Shopware environment with the following command:
> ./bin/console system:setup
URL to your /public folder should be: http://localhost:8000
For the database details, use the following:
Host: 127.0.0.1 User: root Password: root Database: shopware
At the end, the system will create a .env
file containing the provided configuration.
Now we install Shopware with:
> composer setup
This will run the migrations, install dependencies and build the assets.
Start the webserver:
symfony server:start -d
To be sure that the installation succeeded, just open the following URL in your favorite browser: localhost:8000
