Huge Learning Curve, Bigger ROI

I am technologically savvy, but I had a hard time installing UNA CMS at first. I tried the DigitalOcean approach and quickly became lost in the process - there just wasn't enough step-by-step documentation. I got further than I thought I could, but could not get to the finish line. But the progress made me more determined.

After watching Mr. Web's video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AULtMgXNdI, I got very close to the finish line. Using Hostinger was amazingly more straightforward. However, I got a couple of messages not shown in Mr. Web's video. I think it's because the current version is newer than he was using. However, I was able to figure it out and install the software. Here is a link to the video (no audio, just shows the steps) I created that addresses the specific messages I got on two separate installations: https://videos.allacesinc.com/s/Pvj0EGzP
Everything else you need for installation is in Mr. Web's video. I hope this is helpful.

This takes a huge commitment, but how many people and organizations can say they have their own social media network? How many create the opportunity to nurture a community of people and organizations that presents so many possibilities for ad revenue, lead generation, sales, and more (especially at these price points)?

It is so rewarding to see the platform live on my domain. Now its all about customization. I have added my apps from the marketplace and have been going through the Launch Checklist: https://unacms.com/wiki/checklist

IMPROVEMENTS
It would be helpful to...
🔘 Access the Spacenook community and starter kit. I could not access the community (as many mention in the Q&A) nor could I find the download.
🔘 Know when the other starter kits are going to be available
🔘 Be able to duplicate fields and permission levels so we do not have to start from scratch
🔘 Have updated and more detailed, tutorial style documentation with visuals or videos

I am so glad I pushed through the process...you will be too. I will update once we have actual people using the platform. Good luck fellow Sumolings!
