Read this section to get DXA up and running.

About this task

The following diagram shows DXA installed on top of SDL Tridion (the Content Manager and Content Delivery environments). The basic process for installing the DXA is:
  1. Import DXA into the Content Manager:
    • Import the content items
    • Import the modules
    • Import rights and permissions for the default DXA User Groups (Developer, Editor, and Site Manager)
  2. Publish the Example Site (or at least a minimal set of Content Manager items) to get the Web site content into the Content Data Store from where it can be retrieved by the Web application on page request
  3. Create a Web application (MVC) for running a DXA Web site
  4. Import modules, for example Google Analytics.
