Installing Drupal from existing configuration

Prerequisites: You need to install and setup Ddev local, please check Setup local development environment with DDEV

In this tutorial, I will explain how to install Drupal from the existing configuration (in another tutorial I will explain how to create your own configuration from the scratch)

Drupal introduced this functionality in version 8.6.0 - Installing Drupal from configuration (only certain profiles)

For this purpose I will use already preconfigured Drupal from Sakiland Org public git repository.

git clone git@bitbucket.org:sakilandorg/drupal.git;

cd drupal;
ddev start;
ddev composer install;
npm install;

Now you can access your local site on the link https://drupal.ddev.site/

Choose appropriate language
