Horizon

As per Sitecore documentation, Horizon has the following capabilities:

Horizon is the next-generation editor in Sitecore Experience Platform. Horizon includes the following features:

The page editor, which you use to create and edit web pages. As you edit a page, you can see how it will appear on different devices.

Simulator mode, which you use to preview web pages as they will appear on different dates and on different devices.

Insights view, which you use to see analytics for your web pages.

Prerequisites

Install Sitecore Experience Platform 9.3.

Sitecore 9.3 can be installed with the help of SIA. Refer to my previous blog on Sitecore 9.3 Installation with SIA for the guidelines.
Sitecore Content Management site has to be accessible with the https protocol.
Ensure Sitecore Identity is installed.

Will be installed by default when the Sitecore instance is installed with SIA.
Sitecore CMS and the Identity server should have the same domain.

Horizon will only work if you install Sitecore identity under the same domain as the Sitecore Content Management instance. For example, if your Sitecore CM instance has the address https://cmdomain.com, then install Sitecore identity with the address identity.cmdomain.com.

This will also be the default configuration if the instance is installed with SIA.

Will be installed by default when the Sitecore instance is installed with SIA.
ASP.NET Core/.NET Core: Runtime & Hosting Bundle 2.1

Will be installed by default when the Sitecore instance is installed with SIA.

Download and Install Node from here.
