When developer want to use core component(without sample content), use to download and verify before use then .Which version of Aem we can use -> OPTIONS [1]Version6.3, [2] AEM as cloud service,

[Mohit_KBansal · Accepted solution]

You can use either option. The only difference is, Core components are part of AEMaaCS, while in on-prem setup, you need to install it (either via POM dependency or manually).
