@Drupal installation windows 

Two ways to download/install drupal in windows.

 

1.Install Drupal using the standard web interface(browser)

 

                                       Step1 

First install composer on your machine. 

                                     Step2

 

                                                                                  Recommended

composer create-project drupal/recommended-project your-project-name


 

this will create a project in 'your-project-name' and automatically executes composer install to download the latest stable version of Drupal and all its dependencies.

 

Created a sites/default/settings.php file with chmod 0666

Created a sites/default/files directory with chmod 0777

 

                                                                                         deprecated

2.Install Drupal using the command line

we can use either Drush or Drupal console to install Drupal from the command line.

By using Drush

 

                                      Step1 

Add Drush in your project globally or locally by running: 

Locally:

composer require drush/drush. 

Globally:

composer global require drush/drush

                                     Step2

drush site:install

 

This will  download and install  your project automatically.
