Initiating the Next.js starter kit in Acquia CMS¶

During the Acquia CMS Headless starter kit installation, you can enable the Next.js starter kit.

To enable the Next.js starter kit:

1. Access your Drupal site as an administrator and click Acquia CMS Wizard.

   The system displays the CMS Dashboard page.

2. In the Headless section, select the Enable Next.js starter kit checkbox.

   

3. Click Save.

   The Next.js starter kit:

   • Generates and sets up OAuth SSL certificates.

   • Creates a Next.js user in CMS.

   • Creates a Next.js consumer and generates a secret.

   • Configures the consumer with the user and headless roles.

   • Enables the Next.js module.

   • Creates a Next.js site.

   • Configures the content type for Next.js.

   The system displays the environment variables for the Next.js application.

   

   Important

   You must copy and store these environment variables in the .env.local file for your Next.js application.

After the starter kit is available, you can modify the configuration to fit your needs. You can rename next.js sites, users, and consumers, and set new consumer secrets.

For more information on getting started with Next.js, see Next.js starter kit tutorial.
