lightning\_base
===============

[](#lightning_base)

Minimal lightning profile. No panels, no API

lightning\_base is a more opinionated version of the [Lightning](https://github.com/acquia/lightning)Drupal distribution intended for use as a minimal lightning profile. No panels, no API.

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

To build the codebase:

```
composer create-project biko/lightning_base --no-interaction --stability dev

```

This will create a new directory, `lightning-project` which contains a `docroot`folder. This is where you should point your web server.

Just like any Drupal project, you will need an environment in which Drupal can be run and an available database. Once you have that setup, you can use Drush, Drupal Console, or the web interface to install the site.
