Before a Drupal installation
Last updated on
4 January 2024
Installing Drupal requires that you have a web server and a database server. All requirements are listed in the System requirements documentation guide. A summary of the requirements are also provided.
The requirements can be resolved locally, on your PC, or using a hosting provider:
- The recommended local development environment for macOS, Linux, and Windows is a Docker-based solution such as DDEV or Lando. Read more in the Local server setup documentation guide.
- Most commercial shared web hosting companies fulfil the requirements too.
- There is also Drupal specific hosting.
