After Installing Ubuntu 24.04 for example you could run the following bash command to setup LAMP on Ubuntu 24.04 If you get the VDO bash files from

```
git clone 10.0.x git@github.com:webship/vdo-project.git /var/www/html
cd /var/ww/html/
sudo rm -rf .git

```

Then you could edit the VDO config file to work for your system:

```
vim /var/www/html/vdo/config/vdo.settings.yml

```

you will see something like:

```
vdo:
  root: /var/www/html
  path: /var/www/html/vdo
  scripts: /var/www/html/vdo/scripts
  config: /var/www/html/vdo/config
  host: localhost
  web: http://localhost/vdo
  backups: /var/www/html/backups
database:
  username: DATABASE_USERNAME
  password: DATABASE_PASSWORD
  host: DATABASE_HOST
  port: 3306
  namespace: Drupal\\Core\\Database\\Driver\\mysql
  driver: mysql
  collation: utf8mb4_general_ci
account:
  name: DRUPAL_WEBMASTER_NAME
  pass: DRUPAL_WEBMASTER_PASSWORD
  mail: DRUPAL_WEBMASTER_EMIL
config_sync_directory: ../config/sync
workspaces:
  - products
  - dev
  - test
  - demos
  - sandboxes
  - profiles
  - modules
  - themes
  - libraries
  - forked

```

After you have made your changes you could install the global variables.

```
cd  /var/www/html/vdo/scripts/install
bash install.sh

```

Close all terminal windows And open a new one Test that we are ready by

```
echo ${vdo_config}
/var/www/html/vdo/config

```

If "/var/www/html/vdo/config" was printed,which mean we are ready for the next step.

Only for Ubuntu 24.04 you could run the following command to setup your LAMP. ( You man install LAMP in your own. or copy the bash file change it to work for your system.)

```
cd /var/www/html/vdo/scripts/install/
bash setup-LAMP-ubuntu21-04--php7-04--MySQL8.sh

```

After that, you can do a composer install

```
cd /var/www/html/
composer install

```

Or you could build by composer create project command Create a VDO Project 10.0.x with Composer To install the most recent stable release of VDO 10.0.x run this command:

```
composer create-project webship/vdo-project /var/www/html --no-dev --no-interaction

```

To install the dev version of VDO 10.0.x run this command:

```
composer create-project webship/vdo-project:10.0.x-dev /var/www/html --stability dev --no-interaction

```

Status message After that delete the composer.josn and composer.lock file from your /var/www/html folder

```
cd /var/www/html/
rm composer.json composer.lock

```

To test that the VDO settings are working If you go to DEV you can find many bash files that could help you in your development of the profile.

```
cd /var/www/html/dev/
bash cmd-vdo-drupal10-recommended-project.sh drupal10c1 --install

```

### Varbase disto for example:

[](#varbase-disto-for-example)

```
cd /var/www/html/dev/
bash cmd-vdo-varbase10-project.sh varbase10c1 --install --add-users

```

### Create custom VDO bash:

[](#create-custom-vdo-bash)

Having a new dev or test bash files to add more work or commands in them. Add the heading in a new file then use any of the ready variables by the VDO bootstrap settings or the workspace settings or values.

### Example:

[](#example)

```
cd /var/www/html/dev/
vim cmd-vdo-example.sh

```

Then in the file, you could add the following:

```
#!/bin/usr/env bash

# Bootstrap VDO.
. ${vdo_scripts}/bootstrap.sh ;

# Load workspace settings and extra lists.
eval $(parse_yaml ${vdo_config}/workspace.dev.settings.yml);

echo "*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*";
echo "|  Build Drupal Project  and add 100 modules in one command";
echo "*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*";

```

Have your own YML files. Read them in bash files as arrays of variables.And use them in custom bash file in the way you like:

```
eval $(parse_yaml ${path_to_the_yml_file}/name-of-file.yml);

```

Have a look at the number of bash files like the themes, profiles. or test in Learn by example. For sure have your naming or coding style or any language in the bash files, like python, C, PHP, or normal Bash.
