Distributions

Drupal 7 will no longer be supported after January 5, 2025. Learn more and find resources for Drupal 7 sites

Distributions are full copies of Drupal that include Drupal Core, along with additional software such as themes, modules, libraries, and installation profiles. There are two main types of Drupal distributions:

  • Full-featured distributions: complete solutions for specialized use cases.
  • Other distributions: quick-start tools, starting points for developers and site builders.
