Installation for XbyK

Below is a quick and dirty installation. I'll update it and provide better documentation soon, however it's 3:08am and i'm a little tired.

  1. Clone the Repository and retrieve the starting-site/xbyk folder (you can get rid of the rest)
  2. Go into the FrontEndDev folder, and run the following commands to rebuild the css/js (requires Node.js, i have 20.17 but should work on latest)
npm install
npm run build
  1. Go into the MVC folder, and open up a terminal there and run the following commands:
dotnet restore
dotnet build
  1. Open the MVC\.config folder and right-click on dotnet-tools.json and unblock it (the DB installer, honestly couldn't figure out how to install just that, it comes with the kentico.xperience.templates)
  2. Retrieve a license, and add the license content into a file license.txt within the MVC folder
  3. Run a command similar to the below to install the database, modify according to Kentico's instructions and picking a random GUID for the hash-string-salt
dotnet tool restore
dotnet kentico-xperience-dbmanager -- -s ".\SQL2022" -d "Xperience_Baseline" -a "YourAdminPassword@" --hash-string-salt "11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555" --license-file "license.txt"
  1. Merge the appsettings.json.backup with your newly generated appsettings.json file (there are configurations for the Baseline you can opt into)
  2. Open the entire solution, and search for BASELINE CUSTOMIZATION in the code, this will show all the customization points.
  3. Once configured to your liking, run the site and go to the Admin
dotnet build
dotnet run --project MVC

You may need to do additional configurations in the admin, depending on your setup. By default it should create a default website channel, configure all the page types and get you going.
