# CiviCRM for Drupal 8 installation notes
* Install Drupal 8 as normal.
* Follow [the instructions on this gist](https://gist.github.com/dsnopek/56311dbea347874e75180883efabb620).
* Copy files to `<webroot>/libraries/civicrm` by using the [script on this ticket](https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/drupal/issues/9).
* [Hack] To get CKEditor/kcfinder working, copy it to libraries/civicrm: `cp -r $asset_source/packages/kcfinder $asset_dest/packages/`.
* To get `extern` scripts loading correctly, run this (to create a *second* `settings_location.php`):
```bash
cat << EOF > $asset_source/settings_location.php
<?php
define('CIVICRM_CONFDIR', '../../../web/sites');
EOF
```
Alternatively, set BOTH `settings_location.php` values to an absolute path, e.g. `/home/jon/local/agbud8/htdocs/web/sites/default`.
