Installing Drupal

I've done 4 Drupal 8 installs in the last 9months (composer / git - local build then deployed to cPanel);

and in all cases each step in development process was accompanied by errors.

Sometimes the errors are related to bugs like this:
https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3045349

Sometimes it's a requires/dependency issue related to composer json or updating core

Sometimes it's UUID or Database related.

Hello everyone,

I am new to Drupal and trying to install Drupal 8 with commerce 2, I did all the following variation but every time I asked to provide  Authentication required (git.drupal.org) with username and password and no matter what I enter I will get this error:

1st- Installing on localhost (wamp), I downloaded the "commerce kickstart" and used composer install command to download all dependencies. 

2nd- Installing on localhost (wamp), using "composer create-project drupalcommerce/project-base foliage --stability dev", same problem.

Hello! I am very new to Drupal. The website I was asked to manage has Drupal 8+. Lately I have been modifying css, but that`s about it.

Randomly, the website will not launch and is displaying this error: The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later. I really don`t know how to troubleshoot this. I read online that you should check the watchdogs file, which I did, but it`s contents are not pointing to the url I accessed. 

The Media module is advancing and it seems to be the future of Drupal asset management. While the core setup is sufficient for smaller sites with a little media entries, it gets challenging finding the image you are searching for within 1000 entries. sure, we can say that the editors are responsible for naming, but are there any practices which make it more comfortable?

I had installed dupral 8 on XAMPP. When it is creating a database, an error due a 30 sec timeout exceded appears. 

Then, a login appears in my dupral/index.php. I insert the Dupral.org credentials but it does't work. May be because I'm not a "confirmed" user? What i have to do to become confiermed user? 

I'm setting up Drupal using Acquia Dev Desktop (on a mac) and when I get to 'Verify Requirements' it gives me this error message:

"PHP
5.5.38
Your PHP installation is too old. Drupal requires at least PHP 7.0.8. It is recommended to upgrade to PHP version 7.2 or higher for the best ongoing support. See PHP's version support documentation and the Drupal 8 PHP requirements handbook page for more information."
