1. Sitecore Headless Rendering Service: https://dev.sitecore.net/Downloads/Sitecore_Headless_Rendering/19x/Sitecore_Headless_Rendering_1900.aspx
2. Sitecore Management Services: https://dev.sitecore.net/Downloads/Sitecore_CLI/4x/Sitecore_CLI_411.aspx

Once everything is prepared, you have to install the Sitecore Headless Rendering Service. This module provides you with server-side APIs and components that are required for the ASP. NET Core Rendering SDK and JavaScript Rendering SDKs (JSS).

After this, let’s go back to the Helox example. It implements a basic company site and we already have some Sitecore Items that we can install on your Sitecore 10.2. These custom items are managed using the new Sitecore Content Serialization system for serializing, sharing and deploying the content items. It also helps in keeping these items in version control.

To use Sitecore CLI, you need to install the Sitecore Management Services package in your Sitecore CM instance.

1. Install Sitecore 10.2 For Sitecore installation follow below links,

3. Login the Sitecore CLI with the following command. dotnet sitecore login --cm https://s10coresc.dev.local/ --auth https://s10coreidentityserver.dev.local/ --allow-write true This will open a browser tab with the Sitecore login page. Use Sitecore 10.2 admin credentials to login and allow access to the service.
   Once logged in, push the latest serialized items using the Sitecore CLI by running the following command.
   dotnet sitecore ser push After finishing this, let's publish all of those items using this command: dotnet sitecore publish Once above command is successfully run, you should see below websites created in content tree.
