6. Download elasticsearch bundle composer require "handcraftedinthealps/elasticsearch-bundle:^5.2"
7. (optionnal) Modify ELASTICSEARCH_INDEX value in your .env file

php bin/console ongr:es:index:create
php bin/console ongr:es:index:create --manager=live

9. Activate all your articles rights in your User settings Settings > User roles > your role
10. Create a smart content in your homepage.xml
11. Render your smart content in your homepage.html.twig
12. Create a user role php bin/console sulu:security:role:create and assign it the website system
13. Create a new user either in your admin or php bin/console sulu:security:role:create
14. Uncomment the routes login and logout in your config/routes_website.yaml

16. Create your own login page https://github.com/sulu/sulu/blob/2.x/templates/static/login.html.twig
17. Go to your /login page and connect as a user (that you created on point 13)

You should be redirected to the frontpage where the smart content is, and have the following error:

The error appears if:

• You try to use smart content with a user connected via Sulu Community Bundle
• If you connect as a sulu User where a smart content is active
