Commerce Reference Store can be installed and configured in two ways:
Evaluation Installation: Evaluators who want to quickly install Commerce Reference Store and get the ATG Store storefront up and running should follow this path. The evaluation installation will let you poke around “under the hood” to see how things work and how they were implemented. Note that, if you want to use Commerce Reference Store as a starting point for custom development, you should perform a development installation instead.
Development Installation: Developers who are interested in modifying and extending Commerce Reference Store should follow this installation path.
Identify which path makes the most sense for your current needs and refer to the appropriate installation instructions in this guide.
