Installing the Connector

Important: Before installing the Connector, back up the Episerver databases.

You use Visual Studio NuGet to install the Connector package. There are two ways to install the Connector, depending on whether you received the installation package directly from Lionbridge or you will download it from the Episerver NuGet feed.
