Affected products and versions

  • Magento Commerce Cloud 2.4.0.

Issue

Prerequisites

A third-party extension with dependencies on APIs for the Store module in CLI commands is configured as required in composer.json.

During the installation of Magento 2.4.0 this causes the installation to fail with an error message "The default website isn't defined. Set the website and try again." displayed in the console. 

Cause

The issue appears for the third-party extensions which have dependencies on stores in their CLI commands. One is Amazon Sales Channels. 

Solution

Before the installation of Magento 2.4.0 merchants have to:

  3. Add the extensions after the installation.

The issue will be fixed in the scope of 2.4.1 release.
