# CiviCRM for Drupal 8 installation notes

* Install Drupal 8 as normal: From the folder above your eventual webroot, run: `composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev htdocs --stability dev --no-interaction`

* 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`.

* To load images in CKEditor, modify `<webroot>/libraries/civicrm/packages/integration/civicrm.php`.  

At line 60, add:

```php

    case 'Drupal8':

      $auth_function = 'authenticate_drupal8';

      break;

```

Somewhere below that, add:

```php

function authenticate_drupal8($config) {

  return true;

}

```

* Add the following to `civicrm.settings.php`:

```php

$civicrm_setting['URL Preferences']['userFrameworkResourceURL'] = CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL . '/libraries/civicrm/';

$civicrm_paths['civicrm.root']['url'] = CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL . '/libraries/civicrm/';

$civicrm_setting['domain']['userFrameworkResourceURL'] = CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL . '/libraries/civicrm/';

$civicrm_paths['cms.root']['path'] = '/var/www/agbud8.megaphonetech.com/htdocs/web';

```
