Quickest way to setup Sitecore 10.1 Vanilla instance

Sitecore 10.1 Vanilla installation on Developer machine

 

Step 1. Install Visual studio 2019

Step 2. Install SQL server 2019 (Developer edition)

Step 3. Copy all the setup files and tools at shared location with full rights

 

Step 4. Browse “Sitecore 10.1.1 rev. 005862 (Setup XP0 Developer Workstation rev. 1.2.3-r6)” folder and run setup.exe in admin mode



Step 5. You should be able to see SIA installation screen, click on Start button to start installation


Step 6. SIA complete the entire process in 3 parts, first part installed all required Sitecore 10.1 prerequisites.


Step 7. Once Prerequisites are installed restart the development machine and open setup.exe again in admin mode (refer step #4). Once SIA will be started then don’t click on Install button again for “Prerequisites”, just click on Skip.

Step 8. As I said in Step #6 that Sitecore does installation in three parts, so this is second parts where you will have to pass require parameter to setup solr and sql.

 Provide all required input for Solr installation like service name and the install path. If you have Solr solr-7.2.1 is already installed at same location D:/Solr, still use the same path. It will create new folder “solr-8.4.0” under D:/Solr. If you have solr solr-8.4.0 already installed then skip this step as well.


Step 9.  Sitecore settings will required couple of parameters like prefix name = sc101, Admin password like b, confirm password like b and Sitecore license file you can choose from the S10 shared location. By using Sc101 as prefix you will have site name like sc101sc.dev.local which you can use for browsing CM/CD site

 



Step 10. We need to provide SQL server credential like SQL instance, admin user name and admin password.

 


Step 11. Verify solr settings like solr url,solr path and solr service name, it will be auto populated just verify it nothing else.


Step 12: Select SXA under optional Sitecore modules


Step 13. Before entering into third phase of installation, we need to validate whether everything is green checked or not. If everything is marked as green tick then click on Install button and go for tea break of 15 minutes.

 


 Step 14. Once you are back if you find any error then you need to come back to log file. As I mentioned earlier that SIA complete installation in three phases. So if you have faced any issues in prerequisites installation then you should look into PrerequisitesInstallationLog file.

If we faced any issues in your Solr installation then you should look into SolrInstallationLog file and if you faced and Sitecore installation related error the you should look into Sitecore-InstallConfiguration log files.


If everything goes well then you should get the installation completed screen.Bingo!

Click on Launch Sitecore to Launch CM instance which will be like Sitecore Launchpad (dev.local).



Login here with admin user id and password and validate your CM instance and to browse CD instance browse https://sc101sc.dev.local/ in incognito mode.
