## Notes

Drupal CMS is a distribution of Drupal core that its Composer package describes as a ready-to-use platform. The package requires Drupal core 11, so the PHP, database and templating facts that apply to a site are the ones on the Drupal record. Sites are started with the Drupal CMS launcher, which creates trial sites, or with DDEV for a local environment.

## Worth knowing

Trial sites from the launcher are temporary. The install guide says a site ready to launch is transferred to a hosting provider, where a domain name is then pointed at it.
