TYPO3 is one of the most functional and powerful content management systems. For comprehensive system functionality, we require a definite server power and an accordant software. The TYPO3 1-2-3 Install tool allows you, in three simple steps, to connect to the MySQL database and import the default tables from the database dump file. After these three steps, you are done with the TYPO3 basic installation that will provide the main functionality. For a complete installation, you should switch to advanced, also called "Normal" mode, which secures additional options for the complete functionality of TYPO3. Using extensions, you can extend the TYPO3 functionality.

In the next chapter, we will describe the TYPO3 template configuration. Using TYPO3, you can set up templates in the same way as for statistical HTML web pages.
