Rebranding notice!

Acquia announces rebranding of its “Acquia CMS” offering, which includes a collection of Drupal modules. “Acquia CMS” is now referred to as “Drupal Starter Kits”.

For information about how to set up Drupal Starter Kits to work with Next.js and how to connect your Headless Starter Kit to the Next.js, visit [Drupal Starter Kits Next.js starter kit](/drupal-starter-kits/drupal-starter-kits-nextjs-starter-kit "Drupal Starter Kits Next.js starter kit").

To get started with the Headless starter kit:

1.  Install Drupal Starter Kits by leveraging the Headless starter kit.
    
    To do so, you can leverage one of the following methods:

    *   [Cloud IDE](/acquia-cms/install-cms#install-acquia-cms-cloud-ide)
    *   [Site Factory user interface](/acquia-cms/install-cms#install-acquia-cms-site-factory-user-interface)
2.  Develop your site by using Drupal Starter Kits.
    
    For more information, see [Develop your Drupal site](/acquia-cms/deploying-acn#develop-acquia-cms).
    
3.  Deploy your site to your remote environment.
