No images or JS on new Magento 2 installation

Question

I've just installed Magento 2 onto my production server under a development. subdomain. The install appeared to have been successful but I've noticed there are no images or working javascript in both the frontend and the backend.

After inspecting the source code, I found that files being called in such as http://dev.website.com/pub/static/frontend/Magento/luma/en_GB/css/print.css don't actually exist. Any thoughts? I tried solutions on several stacks but haven't had any luck.

Try this Before that take Backup

Remove everything, except .htaccess file from pub/static folder

Open up app/etc/di.xml find the path “Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Symlink” and replace to Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Copy

Note: Remove entire files and folder under pub/static except .htaccess file.

Also, make sure you enabled Apache server rewrites. – Steve Johnson Jan 07 '16 at 14:59
This has fixed the frontend of my website. Images and styling is now also appearing in the backend, however - none of the links work. I'm getting loads of errors for missing files in pub/static - most of which don't exist. – Liam McArthur Jan 07 '16 at 17:43
i can't get..... – Magento 2 Jan 07 '16 at 17:48
Fixed! I had to change the permissions of all directories in pub/static, as they were incorrect. – Liam McArthur Jan 07 '16 at 18:03

This is an accepted answer recommending modifying a core file. This is wrong and no one should do this. – mbalparda May 23 '16 at 12:47
to switch the static content deploy strategy, you should actually switch the mode to developer (symlink) or production (copy) with the command bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer / production. And like already said, do not edit the core :< – David Verholen Dec 30 '16 at 17:39
use this php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy – lalit mohan Jun 28 '17 at 10:06

You can run below command from magento root folder.

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

This will download the content perfectly in respective folders.

If you are in default or development mode use -f to forcefully download static content. In development mode static content are downloaded automatically.

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

If you see that Magento is trying to load from a folder other than en_US, you can try to deploy static content in the appropriate folder as below

bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy en_GB en_AU

I had the same issue after installing magento 2.1.1 and followed the steps mentioned below

Add D:\xampp\php to your PATH Environment Variable. Then Close The Command Prompt And Restart Again. Its important because if you didn't restart you command prompt then changes will not reflect.

Follow this link for guidance on adding path variable: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml

Navigate to your mangento root directory (Eg: D:/xampp/mangento/) through command prompt
Run the command php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

This worked for me. Hope it helps others!
