Q&A
- Hi! Webshop still empty, No schema and no data source binding. Probably a deployment that went wrong or is missing? -> Might be that somehow the database schema and binding was not created automatically. Try the following: create a database schema through the cockpit and create binding to the application. Restart the application afterwards. Then the products should appear.

During the original course last year Amol Gupta wrote a very good complementary installation guide which you might also still find useful:
Additionally, we have a new Enterprise Sales and Procurement Model (ESPM) Installation Guide with screenshots, have a look!
All the best,
