Speed up sitecore banner

To keep up to date with trends, you should use Docker containers for installing Sitecore 10.0.2 to support rapid deployment + more efficient solutions and team onboarding.

This blog post is a summary of my own experience with Sitecore Experience Platform 10.0 Update 2 (aka Sitecore version 10.0.2) installation by using Sitecore Install Framework (SIF) version 2.3 on my machine with the following install guide:

I do hope that this blog post is helpful for your journey as well.

Note: since Sitecore 9.3, by default, we have been able to use our install directory rather than the default one
