I have been developing Drupal 7 sites, modules, and themes for a few years now at work. I have also been using Composer at work to manage dependencies for non-Drupal projects at work and at home. Increasingly, Drupal has become a dependency for the sites being worked upon. While Drupal 8 is wedded to modern tools like Composer, the sad reality is most of us will still need to use D7 until D8 has been officially released and allowed to mature.

Enter "Drupal Composed", my effort to create a Composer project that will install Drupal 7 with one easy command. This package will install my Linguo installation profile, enable French and German translations, and use a Bootstrap theme for the site. My Linguo installation profile includes all the modules I have found useful in buildling a robust multi-lingual site.

Requirements

This project requires Composer and drush to be globally installed on your server. You will also need the drush language commands installed.

Usage

Install Linguo Drupal

To install the Linguo Drupal profile, run the following command replacing /path/to/your/site, dbusername, dbpassword, dbserver, and dbname with the appropriate values:

$ DRUPAL_ROOT='/path/to/your/site/public/' DB_URL_DRUPAL='mysql://dbusername:dbpassword@dbserver/dbname' composer install

Once it has finished, you can setup a virtual host pointing to /path/to/your/site/public. Part of the installation output will be a line with your Drupal administration credentials: Installation complete. User name: admin User password: randomstringhere.

Updating Linguo Drupal

To keep up with changes to Linguo, you can run the following command replacing /path/to/your/site with the appropriate values:

$ DRUPAL_ROOT='/path/to/your/site/public/' composer update
