Installation / modules

In order to use FirstSpirit/CXT, you will need a “FirstSpirit Server”. You can find out how to install the server here: Introduction (→Installation Instructions).
CXT is implemented in the form of “modules”, partly so that functions can be encapsulated and reused. Once the FirstSpirit Server is installed and running, the required modules can be installed and configured. This chapter will tell you which modules are required and how they are installed and configured.
You will also find information here about

FirstSpirit ServerManager
