## Prerequisites & General Notes

Before proceeding, ensure your environment meets the requirements.

* User Accounts: Familiarize yourself with how the suite distinguishes between standard Customers, B2B Employees, and Sales Agents.
* Important: We strongly recommend installation via CLI (Composer/SSH) rather than the Shopware Administration to prevent timeout errors.
