Quick Start for Drupal 9 and Lando

All of the bash commands in this document must be run in repo root.

After cloning the repo, you're free to delete the .git directory.

rm -rf ./.git/

Prepare Code base

lando start

After starting Lando, you will see the URLs. Please do not visit them at this moment.

Continue running the command below:

lando composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:^9 /app/temp --no-install

rsync -rtv --remove-source-files ./temp/ ./drupal/

find ./temp -type d -empty -delete # or run `rm -rf ./temp/`

rm ./drupal/web/.gitkeep

lando composer install # do not forget to confirm plugins when prompted

Note: This is resolved. Please see Composer v2.2 prompts to authorize plugins and Composer 2.2+ Authorized Plugins.

Install drush

lando composer require "drush/drush"

# Test drush
lando drush --version

Manual Installation via Browser

You can now visit the URLs mentioned above and perform an installation via browser:

Automated Installation via drush

Standard Drupal Installation

This will perform a standard Drupal installation:

# Ref: https://drushcommands.com/drush-9x/site/site:install/
# drush si --db-url=mysql://root:pass@localhost:port/dbname
lando drush site-install \
  standard \
  --site-name='Drupal using Lando' \
  --locale=en \
  --db-url=mysql://drupal9:drupal9@database:3306/drupal9 \
  --account-name=admin \
  --account-pass=admin \
  --yes

Standard Drupal Installation in Another Language

If you want to perform a standard Drupal installation with a different language, change the locale option (in this example tr (Turkish) is used):

# Ref: https://drushcommands.com/drush-9x/site/site:install/
# drush si --db-url=mysql://root:pass@localhost:port/dbname
lando drush site-install \
  standard \
  --site-name='Drupal using Lando' \
  --locale=tr \
  --db-url=mysql://drupal9:drupal9@database:3306/drupal9 \
  --account-name=admin \
  --account-pass=admin \
  --yes
