Starting a new project is a 4 step procedure: 0. Prerequisites ---------------- [](#0-prerequisites) You need to have the following software installed on your local development environment: - [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-osx). - [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) 1. Create the project --------------------- [](#1-create-the-project) The project can be created using the following command: ``` $ composer create-project pfrenssen/drupal-site-template --stability=dev my-drupal-project ``` This will download the starterkit into the `my-drupal-project` folder and a wizard will ask you for the project name and your organisation. It will use this information to personalize your project's configuration files. The installer will then download all dependencies for the project. This process takes several minutes. At the end you will be asked whether to remove the existing version history. It is recommended to confirm this question so that you can start your project with a clean slate. 2. Configuration ---------------- [](#2-configuration) First let's move into the project's folder: ``` $ cd my-drupal-project ``` The project ships with default configuration that is intended to run the website on the Docker containers we provide. If you are content with using these, you can skip directly to step 3. If you want to run the website using your locally installed LAMP stack, you will want to change the configuration to match your local system. Customize the default configuration values by copying `runner.yml.dist` to 'runner.yml`: ``` $ cp runner.yml.dist runner.yml ``` Now edit `runner.yml` with your most beloved text editor. You will want to set the database host to `localhost`, and provide the correct database name and credentials. Also update the `base_url` and Selenium path to match your local environment. 3. Installation --------------- [](#3-installation) ### 3.1. Using Docker [](#31-using-docker) Copy docker-compose.yml.dist into docker-compose.yml. You can make any alterations you need for your local Docker setup. However, the defaults should work out of the box. Download and start the supplied Docker images: ``` $ docker-compose up -d ``` Next, install the website: ``` $ docker-compose exec web ./vendor/bin/run drupal:site-install ``` Once this completes your website will be available on To verify whether everything works as expected, you can run the example Behat test suite: ``` $ docker-compose exec web ./vendor/bin/behat ``` ### 3.2. Using a local LAMP stack [](#32-using-a-local-lamp-stack) Install the website using the task runner: ``` $ ./vendor/bin/run drupal:site-install ``` The site will be available through your local web server. To verify whether everything works as expected, you can run the example Behat test suite: ``` $ ./vendor/bin/behat ``` 4. Commit and push ------------------ [](#4-commit-and-push) The final step is to create a new git repository and commit all the files. A `.gitignore` file is provided to ensure you only commit your own project files. ``` $ git init $ git add . $ git commit -m "Initial commit." ``` Now you are ready to push your project to your chosen code hosting service. ### Health Score 23 — LowBetter than 27% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity10 Limited adoption so far Community22 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity39 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
