To get the most out of this book
To work with Drupal and run the examples in this book, you will need the following software:
- Apache (preferred), at least version 2.4.7 is required; or Nginx, at least version 0.7.x is required.
- Database: MySQL 5.7.8 or MariaDB 10.3.7 or above is required.
- PHP 7.3 or above is required.
The third chapter shows how to set up a local development environment with the most recent Drupal version so that you can easily try the recipes in the book.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
