Hybris-Installing the Accelerator Extension Set

If you have administrator rights, it is a good idea to add the following entries in your host file.
The etc hosts modification allows the accelerator to identify sites (CMSSites) from the url.
If you are on windows machine it is normally located here c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
On Unix / Linux / Mac the file is located here /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 hybris.local

This makes for a neater URL construction, so you can call http://hybris.local:9001/yacceleratorstorefront/
If you don’t do this, the sites would need to be identified with an additional request parameter like:http://localhost:9001/yacceleratorstorefront/?site=hybris&clear=true
