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”.

To install Acquia DAM with Drupal Starter Kits, you can leverage any Drupal Starter Kits starter kit like Drupal Starter Kits Community starter kit.

1.  To get started with the `acquia_cms` setup by using the starter kit, follow the instructions in [Getting started](/acquia-cms/starter-kits/enterprise-low-code/getting-started).
    
    After the starter kit is installed, you must install the `acquia_cms_dam` module.
    
2.  To install the `acquia_cms_dam` module, install any starter kit. For example, let us assume that you want to leverage the `acquia_cms_community` starter kit to install the `acquia_cms_dam` module as follows:
    
        ./bin/acms acms:install
    
    This command starts the starter kit installation and provides the following options:
    
    *   Drupal Starter Kits headless (`acquia_cms_headless`)
    *   Drupal Starter Kits Community (`acquia_cms_comunity`)
    *   Drupal Starter Kits Enterprise Low Code (`acquia_cms_enterprise_low_code`)
    
    Note
    
    Existing users who want to prevent rebuilding Composer dependencies repeatedly can leverage separate build and install commands. For more information, see [Using separate build and install commands](/acquia-cms/using-split-commands).
    
3.  Select `acquia_cms_comunity`.
    
    After you select the starter kit, the system prompts you to answer multiple questions to set up the site.
    
4.  For the **Would you like to enable the Acquia DAM modules (configuration will need to be done manually later after site installation) ?** prompt, set **Yes**.
