Get Started ----------- [](#get-started) You will need the following installed: - [Composer](https://getcomposer.org), obviously - [Node](https://nodejs.org), which includes the NPM package manager When you have those, run this command: ``` $ composer create-project xenomedia/zeus-project:^8.3.0 MY_PROJECT --no-interaction --stability rc ``` Maintenance ----------- [](#maintenance) `drush make`, `drush pm-download`, `drush pm-update` and their ilk are the old-school way of maintaining your code base. Forget them. You're in Composer land now! Let this handy table be your guide: TaskDrushComposerInstalling a contrib project (latest version)`drush pm-download PROJECT``composer require drupal/PROJECT:8.*`Installing a contrib project (specific version)`drush pm-download PROJECT-8.x-1.0-beta3``composer require drupal/PROJECT:8.1.0-beta3`Updating all contrib projects and Drupal core`drush pm-update``composer update`Updating a single contrib project`drush pm-update PROJECT``composer update drupal/PROJECT`Updating Drupal core`drush pm-update drupal``composer update drupal/core`Not too tricky, eh? The magic is that Composer, unlike Drush, is a *dependency manager*. If module `foo-8.x-1.0` depends on `baz-8.x-3.2`, Composer will not let you update baz to `8.x-3.3` (or downgrade it to `8.x-3.1`, for that matter). Drush has no concept of dependency management. If you've ever accidentally hosed a site because of dependency issues like this, you've probably already realized how valuable Composer can be. But to be clear: **you still need Drush**. Tasks such as database updates (`drush updatedb`) are still firmly in Drush's province, and it's awesome at that stuff. This installer will install a copy of Drush (local to the project) in the `bin` directory. **Composer is only responsible for maintaining the code base**. Source Control -------------- [](#source-control) If you peek at the `.gitignore` we provide, you'll see that certain directories, including all directories containing contributed projects, are excluded from source control. This might be a bit disconcerting if you're newly arrived from Planet Drush, but in a Composer-based project like this one, **you SHOULD NOT commit your installed dependencies to source control**. When you set up the project, Composer will create a file called `composer.lock`, which is a list of which dependencies were installed, and in which versions. **Commit `composer.lock` to source control!** Then, when your colleagues want to spin up their own copies of the project, all they'll have to do is run `composer install`, which will install the correct versions of everything in `composer.lock`. ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 62% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity9 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity68 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 75% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
