In this blog, we are going to discuss "how to install Sitecore 10.3 XP" instance in your local.
We can be able to install Sitecore instance in two ways,
1. SIA – Sitecore Install Assistance
2. SIF – Sitecore Installation Framework
In this blog we use SIA to install our Sitecore Instance.
System Requirements
Operating system – Windows server 2019/2022 or Windows 10 Professional (64 bit) or Windows 11 Professional (64 bit)
.NET Framework - ASP.NET Core Runtime 6.0. Hosting Bundle
Database - Microsoft SQL Server 2019, Microsoft SQL Server 2017, Microsoft Azure SQL, Redis (Linux): 4.0.9 (or later), Redis (Azure): 4.0.14 (or later), Redis (Windows): 3.0.504 (or later)
Web server - IIS 10.0, Microsoft Web Deploy 3.6, URL Rewriter
Development - Visual Studio 2022 (for more option refer the sitecore official documentation)
Deployment - PowerShell 5.1 or later
Search indexing - Solr-8.11.2, SolrCloud
Note: Most Importantly we need admin access to install Sitecore instance.
So, let’s start how to download SITECORE 10.3 XP Package:
First go to https://dev.sitecore.net/ . Once you reach this site first banner shows the latest version and download option.
Click the download option in the banner, then it will land into Sitecore experience platform page.
Scroll down and you can see the Download Options for On Premises deployment block and respective table.
In that table, click Graphical setup package for XP Single , once you click the link it will show one important popup, just click the accept button in the bottom, once it is done download will get started.
Once above things are done we are ready to setup the Sitecore instance
Create new folder in disk and name it as “scinstall” and paste your downloaded Sitecore package and license file [refer the below screen shot]
Next unzip the sitecore package (Sitecore 10.3.0 rev. 008463 (Setup XP0 Developer Workstation rev. 1.5.0-r11)). Once you unzip, you can be able to see Multiple files in your folder [refer the below screen shot]
For better understanding cut all the unzip file and paste in to the new folder, here I name it as “sc 103/10.3”
Next create a new folder for Solr , here I am creating a new folder for Solr under “/scinstall/sc 103” and name it as Solr
Next click the setup file inside the "/scinstall/sc 103/10.3", then it will open the SIA
Once you click the start it will go to the prerequisites step, there just click the install button
Once prerequisites step is completed, click the next button in the bottom.
Next Step is to Install Solr and to provide below required details.
Solr Port: 8989 [you need to mention in which port you need your solr] Windows service and path prefix: sc103 [this is user preference]
Install Path: “c:\scinstall\sc 103\solr” [you need to mention the path where you need your solr to be installed]
Click install button, it will take some time to complete
Once Solr installed, we need to provide the Sitecore settings.
Installation/solution prefix: sc103 [this is nothing but our Sitecore instance name]
Admin password: b [b is default one we used]
Sitecore License: “c:\scinstall\license.xml” [we need to provide the license path]
Next step is to provide SQL setting details
Microsoft SQL Server Instance : [Your sql server name]
Microsoft SQL Server admin user name : [Sql server user name]
Microsoft SQL server admin password :[SQl server user password]
Next step is to provide Solr setting details
Solr service URL : https://localhost:8983/solr
Solr file system root: “provide the path where our solr installed”
Solr Window Service name: sc103solr-8.11.2 [you can name it based on your wish]
Once it is done, the next step is to confirm whether we need SXA or not, here I am not going to use SXA, so leaving as it is.
Next step is the highlighted feature in SIA, here you can summarize your Sitecore instance settings, if you need to edit something you can use the back option to do that.
Next step is also one of the highlighted features, here SIA will validate all your requirements.
If all is good, you can be able to see the green tick in all the requirements.
Note: Mostly valid Solr connection may fail if keystore is not available. Kindly use the below link to generate the keystore file.
Next step is to click install and it will start installing the Sitecore instance
Once it is done button it will open the installation completed wizard
Click Launch Sitecore button, it will open your brand new Sitecore instance in browser
So, our new Sitecore instance is up and running .........
Any question kindly post it on the comment section
