To use Content Hub, you must install a group of Drupal modules on each of the websites in your content network that needs to share content with each other. This group of modules is referred to as the Content Hub client. You can use the client and can also share content with your websites by using the Content Hub API.
To use Content Hub with your website, review the technical requirements for the latest version of Content Hub modules.

To connect to the Content Hub content repository on Cloud Platform, you must have an API key, a secret key, and a hostname. If you do not have these credentials, contact your account manager.
Before installing Content Hub, ensure that you review the known issues for Content Hub.
To install Content Hub modules on your Drupal application:
Install the Content Hub project by using the instructions on the Content Hub module page.
Set the cache backend for the Depcalc module to use the database.
If your site is hosted in Cloud Platform, use the default Memcached configuration. The default settings set the cache backend to the correct value.
If your site is not hosted in Cloud Platform, ensure that the settings.php file includes
the following:
settings.php: $settings['cache']['bins']['depcalc'] = 'cache.backend.database'
Deploy the changes to the desired environment.
Enable the Content Hub module.
To enable the module, you can use the Drupal admin user interface or the Drush command.
Enable either of the following modules on every site:
Publisher module: acquia_contenthub_publisher
Subscriber module: acquia_contenthub_subscriber
