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.I'm curious if someone could help me better understand the installer for this. I already have Drupal installed and would like to only use the Commons modules for a portion of our website. Is there a way to install Commons without the core information?

japerrySince there are so many modules, the easiest way is to download commons into an empty folder, extract its contents, and drag/move all the commons*, and commons theme (if applicable) to your modules folder. You'll also need to copy over any dependent modules (also found in profiles/commons/modules/contrib) that you may not have in your sites/all/modules folder
Once you do that, you can individually enable features/modules you need.
Unfortunately the installer itself is meant for starting off with commons as a base, and wouldn't be applicable in this situation. However, I can see a future use case where we have the modules and some wizard where you can easily install commons on an active drupal site.
