If you want to modify some of the properties of the downloaded composer.json before composer install is executed, use the --no-install
flag when running composer create-project
. For example, it is possible that you want to rename the subdirectory ‘web’ to something else.
To do that:
- Run
composer create-project drupal/recommended-project my_site_name_dir --no-interaction --no-install
- Change directories to my_site_name_dir and edit the composer.json file to suit your needs
- Run
composer install
to download Drupal 8 and all its dependencies.
