Installation options¶
Drupal CMS offers several installation paths, depending on what you want to do.
-
Drupal CMS launcher
Use the Drupal CMS launcher to get a full-featured Drupal CMS experience to explore and customize. Trial sites are temporary, but you'll be able to test all of the capabilities of Drupal CMS.
-
Local development environment
We recommend DDEV for local development. DDEV is an app that creates a web hosting environment with everything that Drupal CMS needs, right on your computer.
-
To launch your site
Once your site is ready to launch, you can transfer to a hosting provider. With your customized Drupal CMS site hosted, you'll be able to point a domain name to it, and get busy promoting your content.
