Hi  
Shopware is very nice to work with - but it’s a hazzle to install 🙃 Now, they are changing the installation process, and its even a bigger struggle to install

I have downloaded the new 6.5RC. But how do I install it? I’m using Docker Desktop for Mac.

Have tried following the Quickstart here: [GitHub - shopware/platform: Shopware 6 is an open commerce platform based on Symfony Framework and Vue and supported by a worldwide community and more than 1.500 community extensions](https://github.com/shopware/platform#quickstart--installation)  
I skipped the „composer create-projekt …“ but instead cd straight into the downloaded folder (with 6.5 RC).

But, the command  
`symfony console system:install --basic-setup --drop-database --create-database -f`

I get both a warning and a fatal error:

```auto
Warning: require_once(/Users/magnus/Docker/platform-6.5.0.0-rc1/bin/../vendor/autoload_runtime.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/magnus/Docker/platform-6.5.0.0-rc1/bin/shopware on line 17

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Failed opening required '/Users/magnus/Docker/platform-6.5.0.0-rc1/bin/../vendor/autoload_runtime.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php8.1.10/lib/php') in /Users/magnus/Docker/platform-6.5.0.0-rc1/bin/shopware:17

```

And yes, I can not find the file "autoload-runtime.php and there is no folder „vendor“ but a „vendor-bin“ (without the missing file).

Thanks for the tip! I did that without luck, but I got some help on Twitter 😀

The correct command is this (using Composer on Docker Desktop):  
`composer create-project shopware/production:6.5.0.0-dev`

Is there any recipe for 6.5-RC-develeopment environment?

The follwing does install Shopware 6.4:  
composer create-project shopware/ **development**

But this recipe is not available:  
composer create-project shopware/ **development** :6.5.0.0-dev

If not - is there any other way to install a 6.5-RC development environment for plugin development?

This [template has been deprecated](https://www.shopware.com/en/news/shopware-goes-symfony-flex/) and replaced by the new [Flex template](https://developer.shopware.com/docs/guides/installation/flex). It will be still updated until 6.5.

Setup for Plugin Development on Shopware 6.5 RC

1. Install the production template for setting up 6.5.0.0-dev and use symfony to run the server:

```auto
composer create-project shopware/production:6.5.0.0-dev shopware65
cd shopware65
vim .env (set database credentials)
./bin/console system:install --basic-setup
symfony serve

```

Website available on [http://127.0.0.1:8000](http://127.0.0.1:8000) or [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)

1. Use integrated shell scripts to develop/build administration (there is no more psh.phar):

```auto
bin/watch-administration.sh

```

```auto
bin/build-administration.sh

```
