Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
The Docs group is working on a one-page guide to creating a local development site on #2993153: Draft "Getting Started" Outline & Guide.
Once that is done (postponed until then), we should link to it from the User Guide. We already have a page on local dev sites and some information in the install chapter -- we need to make sure we're not duplicating what's in that guide, and link to it for more detailed instructions.

jhodgdonThis page now exists and should be linked to:

eojthebraveI found this page https://www.drupal.org/docs/user_guide/en/install-requirements.html which has some very basic information about setting up a development environment. I think this would benefit from a link to both https://www.drupal.org/docs/official_docs/en/_evaluator_guide.html which covers running the PHP development server that the user guide page mentions, and potentially https://www.drupal.org/docs/official_docs/en/_local_development_guide.html which talks about setting up a Docker based local environment.
And this one https://www.drupal.org/docs/user_guide/en/install-dev-making.html which covers how to make a copy of an existing site, but assumes that you've got the local environment set up already and only covers the process of getting a DB dump, and required files. I think adding a link to this guide https://www.drupal.org/docs/official_docs/en/_local_development_guide.html either here, or in the Concept could work.
There's very little content duplication between what is in these new environment setup guide and the existing user guide pages.

batigolixPatch adds links to the mentioned documents in install-dev-making and install-requirements. I removed to links to older d.o. pages that are somewhat outdated or at risk of becoming outdated soon.docu

eojthebraveThanks. I've just committed this. I'm going to see if there's anything else ready to go, and will then send out an update to the translation groups mailing list about this change.
