Installed Magento 2.1 via composer. What's step 2?

Question

I just installed Magento 2.1 via Composer in my local XAMPP 5.6 server.

composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition magento2
cd magento2
composer update

The folder structure generated:

htdocs/

magento2/update (folder with other files, folders and index.php)
magento2/composer.json
magento2/.gitignore

What exactly am I supposed to do next?

I tried to running 127.0.0.1/magento2 in the browser and it loads the directory structure. If I run 127.0.0.1/magento2/update, it gives forbid access.

Answer 1

Make sure you have the correct permissions and run magento setup:install

For more information see the documentation

Answer 2

You have to run command,

For upgrade,

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

For Deployment of store,

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

For Indexing

php bin/magento indexer:reindex

If cache is enable,

php bin/magento cache:clean

Remove var folder and check frontend.
