The Distributions

Distributions were created to give new users easy access to a preconfigured installation of TYPO3 that they could then use without the need to set up and configure various parts of the CMS such as page structure, content and templating.

When installing TYPO3 for the first time, you will be given the option to access a set of "Preconfigured Distributions" once the installation is complete. Upon selecting this option, you will be redirected to your installations "Extension Manger" and given a list of Distributions to choose from.

For an existing installation of TYPO3, distributions are already available and can be accessed in the Extension Manager.

ノート

If you installed TYPO3 via Composer, all extensions and distributions will need to be installed and managed via Composer.

Introduction Package

The Introduction Package is a complete, fully operational website. It it based on a responsive design using bootstrap templates and contains example content for testing and evaluation. This is ideal for new users who wish to have a "look around" and get more familiar with the CMS.

The Introduction Package provides a fully operational website based on bootstrap.

Installing Distributions Without Composer

For testing and evaluation we recommend that you use the Introduction Package, but several other distributions are available.

Move to the ADMIN TOOLS > Extensions module and choose "Get preconfigured distribution" from the menu in the docheader. Select the Distribution you would like to use and select the "Install" button.

If you want to build your web site from scratch, just go ahead without using a Distribution. You can then start with a completely empty installation of TYPO3.

Installing Distributions With Composer

重要

The steps for installing a distribution with Composer are the same as installing an extension with Composer. See the section Install an Extension With Composer if you wish to install additional extensions. You can also find more information in that section.

To install the Introduction Package or any other distribution on a Composer based installation use:

composer require typo3/cms-introduction

Change the package name to the distribution you want. Find out more about Composer package names in Find out Composer Package Name for an Extension.

Use the following commands to activate the extension(s) via the command line:

./vendor/bin/typo3 extension:activate bootstrap_package
./vendor/bin/typo3 extension:activate introduction

In this case, the Introduction Package depends on the Bootstrap Package (extension key: bootstrap_package), so both packages have to be activated.
