--------------------------------------------------------------

[](#varbase-the-ultimate-drupal-cms-starter-kit-bootstrap-ready)

The powerful Drupal distribution for faster development, with editor experience in mind. Brought to you by [Vardot](https://www.vardot.com/).

Varbase 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 every-day Drupal site.
- [Tested, tested, and tested.](https://git.drupalcode.org/project/varbase/-/pipelines)

Starting a new project? Consider **Varbase** for **Drupal 11**. Installing **Varbase `11.0.x`** comes with several extra automated installation steps, to take full advantage of Varbase, other than the **Drupal 11** installation instructions.

```

To install the dev version of **Varbase `11.0.x`** run this command:

```
composer create-project drupal/varbase_project:11.0.x-dev PROJECT_DIR_NAME --stability dev --no-interaction

```
