How to Install the AEM 6.2 , 6.3 and 6.4 We.Retail Reference Site

In AEM 6.2:
In the AEM 6.2 release, Adobe introduced a new reference site implementation called We.Retail built using the new HTML Templating Language (HTL, formerly known as Sightly). The previous Geometrixx Outdoors reference site used JSP.

Here are instructions to install it to AEM 6.3
1) Download and build aem-core-wcm-components from here
2) Download and install the AEM Package from GitHub

You should now be able to reach the US English main page at http://localhost:4502/content/we-retail/us/en.html

Here are instructions to install it to AEM 6.2
1) Download, build (using Maven) and install (to AEM AUTHOR running locally) [aem-sample-we-retail-master] from GitHub.

This will install two packages:
a) we.retail.ui.apps-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip
b) we.retail.ui.content-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip

2) Download, build and install [aem-sample-we-retail-commons-master] (product data and assets) from GitHub.

This will install one package:
a) we.retail.commons.content-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip

You can now reach the US English main page at http://localhost:4502/content/we-retail/us/en.html

See the complete list of URLs for all 254 web pages of We.Retail here.

In AEM 6.4: 1) From the Adobe Experience Cloud GitHub repo, download the following:

a) aem-core-wcm-components
b) aem-sample-we-retail

2) Build both with Maven
3) Deploy the following (order matters) to your AEM PUBLISH instance;

a) aem-core-wcm-components-master\all\target\core.wcm.components.all-2.0.7-SNAPSHOT.zip
b) aem-core-wcm-components-master\extension\target\core.wcm.components.extension-1.0.3-SNAPSHOT.zip
c) aem-sample-we-retail-master\all\target\we.retail.all-3.0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip

4) On the PUBLISH, navigate to http://localhost:4503/content/we-retail/us/en.html
