Install Introduction Package
============================
.. hint::
The Introduction Package creates a demo website! If you do not want
that, skip this page and proceed to :ref:`install-next-steps`.
If you are using TYPO3 for the first time you may want to
see a working example of the CMS before you start work on
your own project.
The `Official Introduction Package
`__ showcases many of
TYPO3's capabilities and gives you the ability to try them first hand.
The Introduction Package utilizes the `bootstrap_package extension
`__
to generate multiple responsive HTML templates that you can select and try
out.
It also features examples of the different kinds page content that you
typically see on a website. Such as paragraphs of text, images, tables
and navigation menus.
Find more information in :ref:`introduction-package`.

If you installed TYPO3 with Composer
====================================
To install the Introduction Package or any other distribution on a Composer
based installation use:
.. code-block:: shell
composer require typo3/cms-introduction
Use the following commands to activate the extension(s) via the command line:
.. code-block:: shell
./vendor/bin/typo3 extension:activate bootstrap_package
./vendor/bin/typo3 extension:activate introduction
In this case, the Introduction Package depends on the Bootstrap Package
(extension key: `bootstrap_package`), so both packages have to be activated.
When done, proceed with :ref:`install-intro-first-steps`.
