</div><p style="margin: 1.5em 0px;">Your installation of the WxT distribution now lives under ~/Sites/wxt.</p><p style="margin: 1.5em 0px;">If you don't have a local development environment and just want a quick way to try out this distro, you can always use the Acquia Dev Desktop tool. You can download it at acquia.com/downloads. Once you have this installed, open up the Control Panel and click on 'Settings' > 'Sites' > 'Import'. Next to Site path, click 'Browse' and choose the directory where the distribution lives (i.e. ~/Sites/wxt). Choose 'Create a new database' and use 'wxt' as the DB name and Subdomain.</p><p style="margin: 1.5em 0px;">When you visit the site, you'll go through the installation process. First, the WxT profile will be installed:</p><p style="margin: 1.5em 0px;">Next, you'll enter your site information details as usual:</p><p style="margin: 1.5em 0px;">You'll be prompted to choose a theme. Currently, there is only one theme to choose from. Once the site is installed, you can either create a sub-theme based on this theme or create a new theme to implement a more distinct look-and-feel.</p><p style="margin: 1.5em 0px;">Next, the installer will automatically import the French language files and sample content. Finally, you'll see a page that tells you that the installation is complete:</p><p style="margin: 1.5em 0px;">You can click on 'Visit your new site' to see the results of your work.</p><h2 style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 2em; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 300;">Features of the WxT-Drupal Distribution</h2><p style="margin: 1.5em 0px;">Now that you have WxT-Drupal installed, there are plenty of features to explore. Here's a short-list of the built-in functionality that the WxT-Drupal distribution sets up for you:</p><ul style="margin: 1.5em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;"><li><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Responsive Theme</strong>, which implements the Government of Canada look and feel</li><li><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Multilingual UI and Content</strong>, with French installed for you</li><li><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Panels & Panoply</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>for creating a managing landing pages</li><li><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Beans</strong>, which provides an easy way to set up translatable blocks of content</li><li><strong style="font-weight: bold;">CKEditor</strong>, which is a WYSIWYG editor</li><li><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Search API</strong></li><li><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Workbench</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>for drafting content</li></ul><p style="margin: 1.5em 0px;">Of course, this means that there are many modules enabled on the site by default (almost 150). This makes the distribution more complicated than core Drupal. Although there are lots of great features set up for you, learning how to take advantage of these and how to configure the website can take some work.</p></div></div></div></article><p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none;">- See more at: http://evolvingweb.ca/story/installing-wxt-drupal-distribution-government#sthash.zAuuio94.dpuf</span></p>
