As part of work I have to install Magento with its sample data a lot for proof of concepts, while the installation is simple it can quickly become a chore. Because of this I have started to use [n98-magerun](http://magerun.net/). It can be installed using the following commands;

```bash frame="terminal" title="Quick Magento Installation 1/2"
curl -o n98-magerun.phar https://raw.github.com/netz98/n98-magerun/master/n98-magerun.phar
chmod +x ./n98-magerun.phar
cp ./n98-magerun.phar /usr/local/bin/
n98-magerun.phar self-update
```


Once installed you can do clean installation by running the following command where you would like Magento to be installed;

```bash frame="terminal" title="Quick Magento Installation 2/2"
n98-magerun.phar install
```
