The Distributions

Distributions were created to give new users easy access to a preconfigured installation of TYPO3 that they could then use without the need to set up and configure various parts of the CMS such as page structure, content and templating.

Tip

The following is only true, if you installed TYPO3 without Composer:

When installing TYPO3 for the first time, you will be given the option to access a set of "Preconfigured Distributions" once the installation is complete. Upon selecting this option, you will be redirected to your installations "Extension Manger" and given a list of Distributions to choose from.

For an existing installation of TYPO3, distributions are already available and can be accessed in the Extension Manager.

Note

If you installed TYPO3 via Composer, all extensions and distributions will need to be installed and managed via Composer.
