Drupal Installation

Requirements

1. ​PHP 7.1​

2. ​Node (we recommend NVM)​

3. ​Composer​

4. ​Yarn (optional)

Picking a version:

• 2.x - Drupal 8.x compatible

• 3.x - Drupal 9.x compatible

Composer (recommended)

1. Require emulsify in your project composer require emulsify-ds/emulsify-drupal

2. Move into the contrib Emulsify theme directorycd web/themes/contrib/emulsify-drupal

3. Create your new custom theme by cloning emulsify php emulsify.php "THEME NAME" (Run php emulsify.php -h for other available options)

4. Move into your new custom theme directory cd ../../custom/THEME_NAME/

5. Install the theme dependencies yarn or npm install

6. Build theme yarn build

7. Enable your theme and its dependencies*drush then THEME_NAME -y && drush en components emulsify_twig -y

8. Set your custom theme to be the default drush config-set system.theme default THEME_NAME -y

* drush then is the correct command for Drush versions >= 9. drush en is the command to use for Drush versions <= 8.

Troubleshooting Installation: See Drupal Installation FAQ.

Note: Once you've created your custom theme, you can remove Emulsify as a dependency of your project. If you'd like to get updates as we push them, solely for educational/best-practice information, feel free to leave it in and receive the updates. Updating Emulsify will not affect your custom theme in any way. You should not however enable both projects - only your custom theme.

If you do decide to remove the Emulsify Drupal dependency, make sure to move the two requires from its composer.json into your project-root composer.json. (The components, and emulsify_twig modules are required for your custom theme to function, and need to be required somewhere in the composer chain.)

Non-Composer (e.g. tarball download from drupal.org)

1. cd themes/contrib (You may need to create this directory)

2. composer create-project emulsify-ds/emulsify-drupal --stability dev --no-interaction emulsify

3. Move into the emulsify theme cd emulsify

4. Create your new theme by cloning emulsify php emulsify.php "THEME NAME" (Run php emulsify.php -h for other available options)

5. Move into your cloned theme directory cd web/themes/custom/THEME_NAME/

6. Install the theme dependencies yarn or npm install

7. Build Theme yarn build

8. Move the Emulsify Twig module from themes/custom/emulsify/vendor/drupal/emulsify_twig/ to modules/contrib/emulsify_twig. (You can do this from the Drupal root with cp -r themes/contrib/emulsify/vendor/drupal/emulsify_twig/ modules/contrib/emulsify_twig)

9. Enable Emulsify and its dependencies drush then THEME_NAME -y && drush en components emulsify_twig -y

10. Log in and set your custom theme to be the default

Troubleshooting Installation: See Drupal Installation FAQ.

Standalone Installation (prototyping and/or contribution)

yarn or npm install

To create a custom clone with your project's name, you can run php emulsify.php "New Theme" --machine-name new_theme --path none. This will create a custom version alongside your original (which can now be deleted).
