To install sample data in Magento 2, you can follow these steps:

  1. Download the sample data archive from the Magento website.
  2. Extract the archive to your Magento installation directory.
  3. Run the following command in the terminal, replacing {MAGENTO_ROOT} with the path to your Magento installation:php -f {MAGENTO_ROOT}/bin/magento sampledata:deploy
  4. After running the command, the sample data will be installed in your Magento 2 instance.
  5. Next, run the following command to upgrade the database:php -f {MAGENTO_ROOT}/bin/magento setup:upgrade


Note: These steps assume you have already installed Magento 2 and have access to the terminal or command line interface for your server.

Additionally, you can follow these steps to install sample data using Composer:

  1. Open the terminal or command prompt.
  2. Navigate to your Magento root directory.
  3. Run the following command to add the Magento sample data repository: composer config repositories.magento composer https://repo.magento.com
  4. Enter your Magento Marketplace credentials when prompted.
  5. Run the following command to install the sample data: composer require magento/sample-data:{VERSION} Replace "{VERSION}" with the version number of the sample data you want to install (e.g., "1.0.0").
  6. After the installation is complete, run the following commands to update and deploy the sample data: php bin/magento setup:upgrade php bin/magento sampledata:deploy php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f php bin/magento cache:flush
  7. Finally, clear your browser cache and reindex your Magento store.


After following these steps, the Magento sample data will be successfully installed in your Magento 2 instance, allowing you to explore and test the various features and functionalities of Magento.
