INSTALLATION PROFILES
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Installation profiles define additional steps (such as enabling modules,
|
||||
defining content types, etc.) that run after the base installation provided
|
||||
by core when Drupal is first installed. There are two basic installation
|
||||
profiles provided with Drupal core.
|
||||
|
||||
Installation profiles from the Drupal community modify the installation process
|
||||
to provide a website for a specific use case, such as a CMS for media
|
||||
publishers, a web-based project tracking tool, or a full-fledged CRM for
|
||||
non-profit organizations raising money and accepting donations. They can be
|
||||
distributed as bare installation profiles or as "distributions". Distributions
|
||||
include Drupal core, the installation profile, and all other required
|
||||
extensions, such as contributed and custom modules, themes, and third-party
|
||||
libraries. Bare installation profiles require you to download Drupal Core and
|
||||
the required extensions separately; place the downloaded profile in the
|
||||
/profiles directory before you start the installation process. Note that the
|
||||
contents of this directory may be overwritten during updates of Drupal core;
|
||||
it is advised to keep code backups or use a version control system.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, modules and themes may be placed inside subdirectories in a
|
||||
specific installation profile such as profiles/your_site_profile/modules and
|
||||
profiles/your_site_profile/themes respectively to restrict their usage to only
|
||||
sites that were installed with that specific profile.
