Getting Started with Helix Core
The information in this guide helps:
- An administrator set up the Helix Core Server (P4D) for a proof-of-concept or production instance in your own on-premises or cloud environment.
- End users set up the Helix Core Visual Client (P4V) and start working with versioned files.
Helix Core uses a client-server model. The administrator must first set up Helix Core Server and create user accounts. Then, end users can install a client, log in, and work with versioned digital assets.
If you need to get started with Helix Core Cloud, use the Helix Core Cloud Guide instead.
How to get started
Administrators
This guide provides information you need to set up Helix Core for a proof-of-concept or production instance in your own on-premises or cloud environment. If your team has under 50 users and you do not want to set up and manage the Helix Core Server yourself, consider signing up for Helix Core Cloud. To learn about other cloud deployment options, see Cloud Deployment Options for Helix Core.
Before users can interact with a Helix Core Server using a Helix Core client, you must first set up the server and create user accounts.
Read Helix Core overview and then complete the steps in Getting started with Helix Core for administrators, including onboarding end users.
