How to use Magento 2 Code Migration tool for Magento 2 Migration?

To successfully migrate your code from Magento 1 to Magento 2 platform, please follow the below steps.

Step 1.

First of all, download the code-migration-develop tool as a .zip file into any folder of your system from github.com.

Step 2.

After that, Unzip the downloaded file in your local directory. Remember, do not unzip the file where you’ve installed your Magento.

Step 3.

Now, login to your server through Shell.

Step 4.

Next, switch to the folder where you unzipped the file by executing the following command:

cd "/path-to-/code-migration-develop"

Step 5.

After that, execute the below command in the root directory of the same folder.

composer install

Step 6.

Now, allow the composer to finish its job.

Once it is done, switch to the bin directory under the code-migration-develop folder by executing the below command:

cd bin

Step 7.

Next, execute the following command to convert the code structure.

php migrate.php migrateModuleStructure /path-to-your-magento1.x-installation /path-to-your-magento2.0-installation

You can see the converted code structure in the code-migration-develop/app/code directory.

Step 8.

Now, the next step is to execute the below command:

php migrate.php convertLayout /path-to-your-magento2.0-installation-directory

Step 9.

Lastly, run the following command to finish the process:

php migrate.php convertPhpCode /path-to-your-magento1.x-installation /path-to-your-magento2.0-installation

And that’s about it!

NOTE: During the last step, you might see some warnings. These warnings will occur because the code-migration-develop tool is not capable to do everything on its own.

There will be some manual work that you’ll need to do.

You can easily identify these warnings in the log file /code-migration-develop/var/migration.log from where you can perform the remaining manual code migrate job.
