Step 2: Install Sitecore Packages

After following all of the steps listed in Step 1: Set up Sitecore and Commerce Server, do the following:

  1. Install Commerce Connect by using the Sitecore Commerce Connect package (Sitecore Commerce Connect 8.*.zip) that you downloaded previously. From the Sitecore Desktop browse to Development Tools -> Installation Wizard, and then follow the wizard steps to install the package.
  2. Install Commerce Server Connect by using the Sitecore Commerce Server Connect update package (Sitecore Commerce Server Connect 8.*.update) that you downloaded previously. Navigate to http://<your site>/sitecore/admin/UpdateInstallationWizard.aspx, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
  3. Install Merchandising Manager by using the Sitecore Merchandising Manager update package (Sitecore Merchandising Manager 8.*.update) that you downloaded previously. Navigate to http://<your site>/sitecore/admin/UpdateInstallationWizard.aspx, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
  4. Install Sitecore Commerce Dynamics Integration Connect by using the Sitecore Commerce Dynamics Integration Connect update package (Sitecore.Commerce.DynamicsIntegration.Connect 8.*.update) that you downloaded previously. Navigate to http://<your site>/sitecore/admin/UpdateInstallationWizard.aspx, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
  5. Install Sitecore Reference Storefront powered by Microsoft Dynamics by using the Reference Storefront Common update package (\Packages\Sitecore.Reference.Storefront.Common.8.*.update) and Reference Storefront powered by Microsoft Dynamics update package (\Packages\Sitecore.Reference.Storefront.Powered.by.MicrosoftDynamics.8.*.update) that you downloaded previously from GitHub. Navigate to http://<your site>/sitecore/admin/UpdateInstallationWizard.aspx, and then follow the steps in the wizard. Install the Reference Storefront Common package first, followed by the Reference Storefront powered by Microsoft Dynamics package.
  6. Enable the \Website\App_Config\CommerceServer.core.config.example file by removing the .example extension, and changing the <application siteName="SolutionStorefrontSite" debugLevel="Production" /> to <application siteName="AXSolutionStorefrontSite" debugLevel="Production" />. The CommerceServer.core.config is only needed for the next step to set up Commerce Server site, and will be disabled after that step.
  7. If you try to access Sitecore at this point, you will receive an error that the AXSolutionStorefrontSite cannot be found. This error will be fixed when you create the AXSolutionStorefrontSite. If you need to access Sitecore before creating the AXSolutionStorefrontSite, comment out the <CommerceServer> configuration added to the config file in the previous step.
