sitefinity - New Sitefinity site won't start after installing Nuget packages

Question

I'm attempting to install Sitefinity CMS using these instructions https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/install-sitefinity

After the nugget packages install successfully, I am unable to run the site.

I am forwarded to the URL http://localhost:55390/Sitefinity/Licensing?ReturnUrl=%2 where an error occurs.

It looks as though it's looking for a license file, but this should not be necessary until the next step.

Here is the error:

Server Error in '/' Application. Value cannot be null. Parameter name: assemblyInfo Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
