Install the Required Data Kits for a Business Unit

Data kits and packages contain the objects, fields, and data connections that make Marketing Cloud Next work. You install data kits in each data space that supports a business unit. After you install the data kits, most of the related data streams are deployed. In some cases, you manually deploy the data streams in Data Cloud.
