Other than the installation of the sample data, you can also add data to your site after the software is set up. There are two methods to achieve this particular sample data;
The installation of sample data is possible whenever you will have the Magento software in the following ways;
If you are done with the downloading process of the archive from GitHub, it will not work because of the composer.json file doesn’t contain the repo.magento.com URL.
You may use this method to get the sample data for either Magento open source or the commerce, but you must use the authentication keys, for the installation of Magento.
You may also use Composer for installing the sample data, either before or after the installation of Magento. Moreover, there are some tasks available. Such as;
bin/magento sampledata:deploy
bin/magento setup:upgrade
The authentication error might be the following:[Composer\Downloader\TransportException]
The 'https://repo.magento.com/packages.json' URL required authentication.
You must be using the interactive console to authenticate
If the error comes, then you have to change to your Magento installation directory and run composer update. It will prompt you for your authentication keys.
Once you are done with the download of sample data packages, you have to log in or switch to your Magento server, the Magento file system owner and then enter the following command in <magento_root> folder;bin/magento setup:upgrade
