SIF Workshop Prerequisites

This document details the requirements for installing and running Sitecore on premise. For further guidance please review the Sitecore Installation Guide.

Sitecore Requirements

Database Requirements

  • SQL Server - 2016 SP1. This is the only version that fully supports XM and xDB databases.

When installing using the WDPs you must enable contained databases.

Search Indexing Requirements

  • Solr - 6.6.2.

Solr should be configured to run under SSL.

Sitecore Install Framework Requirements

  • PowerShell 5.1 - For Windows 10/Server 2016 ensure you have updated to the Anniversary Edition or above. For Windows 8.1/Server 2012 install via the Windows Management Framework.
  • WebAdministration Module - This is installed alongside IIS.
  • Web Deploy 3.6 for Hosting Servers - You can install this via Web Platform Installer. This is required to support installs via WDPs.
  • URL Rewrite 2.1 - You install this via Web Platform Installer. This is required as the Sitecore WDPs contain web.configs using the module.
