The powerful Drupal distribution for local government. Brought to you by [Clarity Partners](https://www.claritypartners.com/).

GovCore is an enhanced Drupal distribution with a lot of necessities. Necessities are all the modules, features, configurations that we include in every project.

It's made with the following benefits in mind:
----------------------------------------------

[](#its-made-with-the-following-benefits-in-mind)

- Speeds up development.
- Offers standardized configuration and best-practices.
- Comes with a lot of needed functionalities/modules for a government Drupal site.

Starting a new project? Consider GovCore for Drupal 9. Installing GovCore 9.0.x comes with several extra automated installation steps, to take full advantage of GovCore, other than the Drupal 9 installation instructions.

Install with Composer
=====================

[](#install-with-composer)

To install the most recent stable release of GovCore 9.0.x run this command:

```
composer create-project govcore/govcore_project:^9.0.0 PROJECT_DIR_NAME --no-dev --no-interaction

```
