1.2 Requirements, files and folders

Before installing, ensure the user that is installing has modify access to the following folders and files in the Sitecore web root:

• Sitecore 8.x
• \App_Config\include
  
• \App_Data\
  
• \bin\
  
• \sitecore\shell\client
  
• \Sitecore modules\shell\
  

1.3 Requirements

Version 8.0.0 This version of DAM for Sitecore requires a Digizuite™ version 4.6.0 or higher in order to run.

Furthermore, verify the following before running the module:

• Digizuite™ DAM for Sitecore stores a cached version of all image assets locally and hence Digizuite™ DAM for Sitecore needs write access to the \App_Data\ folder. (Sitecore installations have access to this folder by default).
• Enable the configuration file Sitecore.ContentSearch.Lucene.DefaultIndexConfiguration.config, located in Sitecore Website folder \App_Config\include. This has to be done, despite the Sitecore installation running Solr as default search engine. To enable the file it mustn't have the extension .example or .disabled.
