Installation on a LAMP stack or a typical hosting environment.​

To complete and installation please follow the steps below:

  1. Place the included full_installation/ folder under your Apache server path1.
  2. Create an empty MySQL database and take note of the database name.
  3. In your newly created database, import the database/db_instance.sql file. The following screen shows the steps to do this through phpMyAdmin. If your hosting environment does not come with a similar tool installed please ask your hosting provider for assistance on how to import the database file.

Installation with DDEV​

DDEV is an open source tool that makes it dead simple to get local PHP development environments up and running within minutes. It's powerful and flexible as a result of its per-project environment configurations, which can be extended, version controlled, and shared. In short, DDEV aims to allow development teams to use Docker in their workflow without the complexities of bespoke configuration.

We strongly recommend using DDEV in your local environment for development.

Before you start, please ensure that DDEV is properly installed in your system.

Installation steps:

  • Navigate into the full_installation/ folder
  • Initialize DDEV: ddev config
  • Select a project name and the platform as follow:
Project name (full_installation): Webmaker
Docroot Location (current directory):
Project Type [backdrop, craftcms, django4, drupal10, drupal6, drupal7, drupal8, drupal9, laravel, magento, magento2, php, python, shopware6, silverstripe, typo3, wordpress] (drupal10):
  • Start the environment: ddev start
  • Import the database: ddev import-db
  • In the following prompt, provide a relative path to the db_instance.sql file. e.g. ../database/db_instance.sql
  • Open a browser: ddev launch

Install Drush and Login without credentials​

  • Require drush: ddev composer require drush/drush
  • Get an one time login URL: ddev drush uli
  1. How to find your Apache server path: if you are deploying online, your hosting provider should be able to provide you this. If you are deploying locally, it will be where your XAMPP or MAMP installation is configured to look into (e.g.: htdocs, in the case of MAMP on Mac OS X).↩
