## Which should I use

DXPR CMS wins when you start a new site: content types, demo pages and AI modules arrive set up. It does not fit a site you already run. There, install the DXPR Builder module, then switch your content types to the builder one by one.

Moving within the 3.x series is an update. Coming from 1.x or 2.x is a [migration](/hc/documentation/learn-dxpr-builder/getting-started/migration-1x-to-3x) with extra checks.

## Before you start

Every route that installs or updates the module needs Composer and Drush in your project, and an account that can install modules. The hosted demo needs only a browser.

## What's next?
