Suggestion for: Install Drupal CMS locally with DDEV

Created on 17 May 2025, about 1 month ago

Hi,

first off, thank you for the documentation as it is already. Clearly very nicely done.

Issue: I got quite stuck trying to install DrupalCMS with composer (I had previously installed it locally on the Mac) because it kept trying to do it, but then got stuck and told me that it could not install as there were files present from previous projects and thus could not start a new project. (apologies if this is not a very good description).

So I tried to delete all the files, all the hidden files, all the directories, but the fault kept coming up.

Finall I did a ddev clean --all (after reading up on that), and now clearly all files from previous projects were gone (that's a decision of course to keep in mind).

Result: the project installed well.

so the suggestion is to consider adding a step to the documentation for installing DrupalCMS and mention this?

I hope this helps,

Geert
