I get the following error when I run php core/scripts/drupal quick-start:

~~~~
In install.core.inc line 2225:

PHP extensions: Disabled

Array
~~~~

What extensions need to be enabled? I'm guessing "Array" in the error message should actually be a list of the extensions.

I wonder if that error is because a PHP extension is not installed or not enabled? Anyway, these are the steps for Linux, perhaps it can help?

Linux steps

Install Git and required PHP packages, if needed:
sudo apt-get install git php7.0 php7.0-curl php7.0-dom php7.0-gd php7.0-mbstring php7.0-sqlite3

Install Drupal Umami demo:

  1. curl -sS https://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-8.6.x-dev.zip --output drupal-8.6.x-dev.zip
  2. unzip drupal-8.6.x-dev.zip && rm drupal-8.6.x-dev.zip
  3. cd drupal-8.6.x-dev
  4. php core/scripts/drupal quick-start demo_umami

When you are done testing, close the PHP server with CTRL + Z and delete the drupal-8.6.x-dev folder.

Just tried this on MacOS High Sierra (10.13.4) and it worked like a charm. Nice job!

Will there be a create-drupal-app, a la React, coming soon, too?

Nice writeup, @kim.pepper. FYI, I've taken it pretty much as is and created a proposed community docs page on the topic. Comments/further improvements of course welcomed!
