Required server permissions
UNIX systems require root
privileges to install and configure software like a web server, PHP. If you need to install this software, make sure you have root
access.
Do not install the application in the web server docroot as the root
user because the web server might not be able to interact with those files.
You need root
privileges to create the file system owner and add that owner to the web server’s group. You use the file system owner to run bin/magento
commands from the command line and to set up cron jobs, which schedule tasks for you.
