Installation

Checkout codebase

The Ignite packages are available for you to clone in a modified version of the recommended Drupal composer template.

The project is hosted on a public Bitbucket repo which can be cloned using the following command:

git clone [e-mail]:mediacurrent/drupal-project.git shortcode_project

Change to the project folder and run the following command to initialize the codebase.

composer install
rm web/sites/default/.gitignore

This runs composer install. As this is the first time being run, it is a composer update and calculates all dependencies.

Spin-up your local environment

Any local development tool should work, at Mediacurrent we use DDEV. DDEV users can use the setup instructions below:

DDEV Configuration

Run DDEV’s configuration tool

You can pass in defaults (recommended options below), or you can run it without arguments for an interactive configuration tool.

# Option 1: Non-interactive configuration. Project names must be alphanumeric and/or hyphenated.
ddev config --docroot=web --project-name="project" --project-type=drupal10 --webserver-type="nginx-fpm" --create-docroot

# Option 2: Interactive configuration
ddev config

• Project name ( as above this is typically the first part of the domain name.)

• Docroot Location = web

• Project Type = drupal10

Start DDEV

After configuration has been completed, start the ddev containers.

ddev start

Initialize Project

Run the following commands to initialize the project.

./scripts/hobson project:init project.ddev.site

• This command ensures the config/config.yml is in place and has the domain set.

Restart environment

If DDEV is being used as the local environment, run the following command:

ddev restart

Advanced Configuration

For additional configuration options, see our Advanced configuration guide.

Install the Ignite Demo (optional)

The following command will run a full Composer install and site installation using the Ignite Demo profile.

./scripts/build.sh

This will install the full Ignite Demo experience with sample content.

Congratulations, you have installed Ignite CMS!
