Steps to use Acquia Drupal Recommended Settings with BLT.
---------------------------------------------------------

[](#steps-to-use-acquia-drupal-recommended-settings-with-blt)

- Update the BLT plugin to the latest release, which includes acquia/drupal-recommended-settings OOTB.

```
composer update acquia/blt -W

```

### Manual Process:

[](#manual-process)

- Remove BLT reference from settings.php file located at `/docroot/sites//settings.php`.

```
- require DRUPAL_ROOT . "/../vendor/acquia/blt/settings/blt.settings.php";
- /**
-  * IMPORTANT.
-  *
-  * Do not include additional settings here. Instead, add them to settings
-  * included by `blt.settings.php`. See BLT's documentation for more detail.
-  *
-  * @link https://docs.acquia.com/blt/
-  */
+ require DRUPAL_ROOT . "/../vendor/acquia/drupal-recommended-settings/settings/acquia-recommended.settings.php";
+ /**
+  * IMPORTANT.
+  *
+  * Do not include additional settings here. Instead, add them to settings
+  * included by `acquia-recommended.settings.php`. See Acquia's documentation for more detail.
+  *
+  * @link https://docs.acquia.com/
+  */
```

- Update `default.local.settings.php` and `local.settings.php` to use the Environment Detector provided by this DSR plugin instead of BLT:

```
- use Acquia\Blt\Robo\Common\EnvironmentDetector;
+ use Acquia\Drupal\RecommendedSettings\Helpers\EnvironmentDetector;
```

### Automated Process:

[](#automated-process)

- Use migrate command provided in BLT.

```
./vendor/bin/blt blt:migrate

```
