Butter - Smooth Magento 2 Versions Installer

This will allow you to install a Magento version with just a single command. No, need to manually downloading, placing files and creating database.

For example, a command butter magento:install 2.4.0 will

1. Automatically download the Magento version 2.4.0 packages
2. Automatically place it in configured path
3. Create database for it, obviously automatically
4. Execute the installation command
5. Create virtual host(if enabled)
6. Returns frontend & backend URLs

Sounds interesting? It has still more to offer. This can list all the installed version using command

butter magento:list

Additionally, you can delete any installtion with just a single command

butter magento:delete <installation-name>

For example, command butter magento:delete 240 for deleting 2.4.0 installation

Supported Environment & Magento versions

1. PHP: It can install any Magento version that supports PHP version 7.1.3 or higher
2. Server: Nginx
3. Operating Systems: MacOS & Linux

How it differs from n98magerun

You may know that Magento version can be installed using n98magerun as well. So, why we developed Butter?

Reasons are:

1. It can create automatic virtual hosts as well so that you have a ready to use installation with just a single command
2. You do not need to specify all the parameters like database name, admin user details etc to installation command. The installation command is simple & sweet :-)
3. Along, with composer this tool primarily use ZIP based Magento version packages as defined here https://gist.github.com/piotrekkaminski/9bc45ec84028611d621e. Advantage of this technique is, the re-installation of same version will we very quick as the package is already downloaded & stored

The baseline is n98magerun is built to do lot of things & butter is a specialised tool for doing installations.
