Sample data packages for 2.1 have not been published yet.

[redboxmarcins]

That explains, can I use https://github.com/magento/magento2-sample-data/tree/2.1

[mazhalai]

Yes you should be able to do that.

[mazhalai]

@redboxmarcins any update?

[redboxmarcins]

I can only install by hand

I seem to have managed to get it working - had 2.0.6 with sample data installed and upgraded to 2.1RC1 -- lots of issues at the start due to the sample data.. but running these commands seems to have sorted most of it:
php bin/magento sampledata:remove
php bin/magento sampledata:deploy

And then obviously cache:clean etc...

Only one issue remaining and the product grid is not loading - just spinning wheel - seems like some of the product data is corrupt in admin - shows up fine on front end

[paalsoberg]

Got the product grid working as well - just had to export and then import the product data again!

[veloraven]

@redboxmarcins is this issue still actual?

[ytorbyk]

Hi @veloraven . Yes, the issue is still replicable. Magento repository has to be added by hand for sample data deploying (by sampledata:deploy command).

[oshmyheliuk]

Hi @veloraven
What version did you install?
I tried to reproduce this issue on version 2.1.0 , but everything worked fine.

[ytorbyk]

I use 2.1.1 (2.1 branch)

[JustinWang24]

I find a way:
1: composer config repositories.magento composer https://repo.magento.com/packages.json
2: Update composer.json, change the minimum-stability to beta
3: composer update ( Need to input your mage market username and password)
4: magento sampledata:deploy
5: magento setup:upgrade

It works for me.

[cmutz]

It works for magento 2.1.2 (2.1 branch).

[hyperfocus1337]

This issue is still replicable on 2.1.8

[magento-engcom-team]

bin/magento sampledata:deploy is designed for composer based installation. or add repo to your composer.json file

[jimul]

Still issue persist with magento 2.2 EE

[benmarks]

@jimul It's working for me. Did you update minimum stability to beta?

[jimul]

Yes, I tried with "minimum-stability": "beta", and cleared composer cache, same issue

[shahrukh-alizai]

This issue is still replicable on 2.1.10

[titechnologies]

Still getting the issue in 2.2.3

[rafaelcalero]

Still getting in 2.2.3

It works following the steps of @JustinWang24 but you have to skip the step of editing the composer.json (beta, now isn't necesary), it would be like that:

1: composer config repositories.magento composer https://repo.magento.com/packages.json
2: composer update ( Need to input your mage market username and password)
3: magento sampledata:deploy
4: magento setup:upgrade

[rochaaa]

Still getting in 2.2.5

Solution above by @rafaelcalero and @JustinWang24 works like a charm.
