Using Magento command line download tool

Posted on By Adrien Tibi

Magento provides downloads at https://magento.com/tech-resources/download - but this resource is both protected by a login wall and not possible to be accessed by command line. A frequent task of any Magento store owner is to be able to quickly and confidently download resources from Magento direct to their store.

So that's why we wrote MDA (Magento download archive), where you can download full Magento CE & EE releases along with identifying and downloading missing patches; all with great ease by command line.

Using MDA

You can find the GitHub project for MDA here, https://github.com/sonassi/magento-download-archive where it currently supports the download of,

  • CE Full releases
  • CE Patches
  • EE Full releases
  • EE Patches

You need only download the phar (PHP archive) and execute it with PHP to use it.

Download the application,

wget -O mda.phar --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sonassi/magento-download-archive/master/bin/mda.phar

Launch MDA,

php mda.phar

Then pick the appropriate option from the menu,

Downloadable types
--

 [0]:    Ce-full
 [1]:    Ce-patch
 [2]:    Ee-full
 [3]:    Ee-patch
 [4]:    Other

 [q]:    Quit

Setting custom id/token for personalised downloads

If you are a Magento EE subscriber, or simply want to use your own id/token for downloads, you can do so using the following options.

The application supports the following long options,

  • --id
    Your Magento ID, found in your My Account section on the top left hand side.
  • --token
    Your Magento Token, found in your Access Token section.

Examples

Change to your Magento document root, download and run the script,

cd /microcloud/domains/example/domains/example.com/http
wget -O mda.phar --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sonassi/magento-download-archive/master/bin/mda.phar
php mda.phar

Select option 0,

Then pick the respective release (I want 1.9.3.4),

Select a valid option: 19

Then pick the appropriate variant (I want the tar.gz archive),
