Mention official introduction package install in QuickInstall #134
Conversation
The TYPO3 official introduction package is a great possibility for new users to look around and experience TYPO3. It would market TYPO3 a lot better than the "empty start page". I suggest to add it to the QuickInstall manual. in my opinion this will add value for newcomers. Unfortunatley with composer this possiblity has become a lot less obvious (See also https://forge.typo3.org/issues/88940) why IMHO we need to mention it here.

I think this is a great addition to the Quick Install guide. I made a few small changes with the intent of making it a little easier to read and also removed any examples of wording that new users may not be familair with - content elements for example.

Not sure what to do at the moment - I will look into this more thoroughly.

I agree, that we should mention introduction package in Install & Upgrade guide, the question is just where and how.
- Currently there already is a section: In the "In depth Installation" chapter: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/guide-installation/10.4/en-us/In-depth/Distributions/Index.html#introduction-package We should be careful not to create too much duplicate information
- should the Introduction package really be in the "Install Tool" page? (when installing it without Composer, it makes sense. When installing it with Composer it probably does not). In that case we should probably add it to this page: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/guide-installation/10.4/en-us/QuickInstall/Composer/Index.html. But it already exists in the In depth section: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/guide-installation/master/en-us/In-depth/Distributions/Index.html#installing-distributions-with-composer

It could be in a different place, but for the best experience one should choose "Take me straight to the backend" (and not: "Create an empty starting page") in the last InstallTool step.
I could not push my changes because I rebased, So I created a new PR #163 based on your commits. It creates a new page for installing the introduction package in "Quick install". Also it adds some screenshots and makes some more minor changes. Closing here. |
