Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to install and start a Pimcore installation from scratch. Using Docker images, we reduced the complexity of the first installation, we made our environment independent from different operating systems, and we managed to speed up the setup time. Just by typing a few commands in the terminal, all the complex processes were done automatically. This is not only valid for a development environment, but also for production. Moreover, using a container will keep things easy if you would want to move to the cloud. Pimcore can also be installed in a regular environment by taking charge of all the dependency configurations.
In the following chapters, we will use this knowledge to run the examples provided in this book. Moreover, the installation script provided can be used as a quick start guide if you want to start a new project on your own and play in the real world with Pimcore. In the next chapter, we will discover the administration UI of Pimcore, and we will learn how to move between menu items. After this step, you will be able to navigate Pimcore's functionalities, which is fundamental for following the books' tutorials.
