Based on Drupal 8, since we are so cutting edge here in the north.
- Install Drupal in a regular way (preferrably with the
minimalprofile). - Edit settings.php to use
$config_directories['staging'] = 'config/staging';(near the bottom of the file). - Set site UUID to the one specified in the config (for example with
drush cset system.site uuid ffb6d131-689a-415d-a300-0af2e090ef1e) - Delete all entities of type shortcut (if you installed the
standardprofile). You can do this at admin/config/user-interface/shortcut/manage/default/customize. - Uninstall the contact module (if you installed the
standardprofile). - Import all the site config (for example with
drush cim staging).
- Go to the theme directory.
- run
npm install(nodejs required).
