Chapter 2. Installing TYPO3

Now that we know what TYPO3 is, and what it can do for us, we need to get ourselves a copy and install it.

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • Installing a development platform to run TYPO3 (using the Windows Installer package, which will also install TYPO3 for us).

  • Manually installing the TYPO3 application (using the TYPO3 ZIP file) on a pre-existing development environment (for those with their own development environment setup)

  • Configuring TYPO3 using the Install Tool.
