I just want to let you know that this series isn't going to be for everyone. You might want to stick around if you're interested to know how to create a web server for Magento 2 - for the purposes of curiosity or development.

So, I've been doing a lot of research on Magento 2 recently, as my background mostly revolves around version 1 - and I need to get with the times as these next 18 months will see many eCommerce websites transitioning from version 1 to version 2 - as version 1 comes to the end of it's life-span.

The reason why I decided to create this series is because I was struggling to create a development environment from scratch without running into any issues. I figured I couldn't be the only one, so once I finally created a painless method of doing it, I figured I'd share.

Like most things in life, there is more than one way of doing them. I have decided to use Ubuntu as my chosen Operating System, running Apache, MySQL and PHP 7. And then using Composer as my method to download Magento 2.

Hi Craig, something went wrong in my case. | followed all the steps carefully. I do not get the Magneto start page but a page with "Index of/ with 1 file called Composer.json, a folder called Magento2 and the last one is the folder "update". Did I mis something?

It was the first video series that worked perfectly for me. Hope you can make videos showing us how to make custom templates... Googling this always brings me unsatisfactory answers...
