Hello,

i’m new and hope to get some help here.

I am following the learning path “Introduction for developers“ and installed shopware 6 (docker, Ubuntu, WSL). I came to the chapter “App Development“ and issued “bin/console app:create“.

Firstly php was missing, so i installed PHP-cli. (php -v, PHP 8.3.6(cli) ) Now it threw following error when i use bin/console:

How to solve this?

Thanks

Ying

You might have not installed the necessary PHP extension.

`php -m | grep mbstring`

Thanks! It helped. Afterwards i also installed mysql and xml extensions.

Now i got another error when issuing bin/console app:create:

Warning: Failed to load plugins Error message: An exception occurred in the driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory  
Symfony\Component\ErrorHandler\Error\ClassNotFoundError^ {#1039

./vendor/symfony/console/Formatter/OutputFormatter.php:117 { …}

}  
}

I couldn’t figure out what is missing here. My Shopware was installed by following the tutorial video „Installing Shopware on Windows using WSL and docker“ in learning path “Shopware Introduction for developers“.
