Installation behavior
CRM requires seven modules (four contrib, three core). See Dependencies for the full list and installation steps.
When CRM is first enabled, it creates default contact types (person,
organization, household), contact method types, relationship types, and method
details from configuration in config/install/. The person contact type is
locked after install. CRM also seeds a default organization contact (from the
site name and email), a person contact for user 1, a user–contact mapping, and
an employee relationship linking them.
Optional configuration for Comment, Search, and REST is imported automatically when those modules are enabled alongside CRM. See the integration guides for details.
