Check the “I agree” checkbox and you'll be shown the Next button on the bottom-right of the wizard. Click it to proceed.

Choose from the following options to install the specific or complete features. It is a best practice to install all the features, still you can choose depending on your requirements and click Install.

The installation process takes some time to download the useful resources and other files from the internet to complete the installation depending upon the speed of your internet connection. During my installation, it took just 1 hour to complete the installation.

What is Content Management System (CMS) ?

A CMS is a tool used for publishing, storing and updating all of the elements that exist on a website. This can include video, text, documents, pictures, data, forms, etc. The CMS is the back-end of the website, where managers log in with a username and password to make and then save changes that will be seen on the (front) visitor’s end of the website. What is DotNetNuke (DNN)?

DotNetNuke (DNN)?

DotNetNuke (DNN) is straightforward and easy to learn and use. DotNetNuke makes it easy to edit content instantly. The DotNetNuke CMS is designed to be adaptable to all types of businesses. Whether you sell products online or not, DotNetNuke helps you manage all different types of your website content. 

DNN provides a consistent user-interface experience across all administrative fields. Wherever users/managers are updating, editing or creating content, the dashboards are similar, recognizable and easy to navigate. 

Another great, yet simple feature provided by DNN is that you are not constantly redirected to new pages as you modify your content. The content editor window pops up in front of the page you are editing. This allows managers/users to view the live content next to the window that they are making changes in.
