1 Install/Upgrade a global Drush
4 # Browse to https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/releases and download the drush.phar attached to the latest 8.x release.
7 php drush.phar core-status
9 # Rename to `drush` instead of `php drush.phar`. Destination can be anywhere on $PATH.
11 sudo mv drush.phar /usr/local/bin/drush
13 # Optional. Enrich the bash startup file with completion and aliases.
17 * MAMP users, and anyone wishing to launch a non-default PHP, needs to [edit ~/.bashrc so that the right PHP is in your $PATH](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4145667/how-to-override-the-path-of-php-to-use-the-mamp-path/10653443#10653443).
18 * We have documented [alternative ways to install](http://docs.drush.org/en/8.x/install-alternative/), including [Windows](http://docs.drush.org/en/8.x/install-alternative/#windows).
19 * If you need to pass custom php.ini values, run `php -d foo=bar drush.phar --php-options=foo=bar`
20 * Your shell now has [useful bash aliases and tab completion for command names, site aliases, options, and arguments](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drush-ops/drush/8.x/examples/example.bashrc).
21 * A [drushrc.php](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drush-ops/drush/8.x/examples/example.drushrc.php) has been copied to ~/.drush above. Customize it to save typing and standardize options for commands.
22 * Upgrade using this same procedure.
24 Install a site-local Drush
26 In addition to the global Drush, it is recommended that Drupal 8 sites be [built using Composer, with Drush listed as a dependency](https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project).
28 1. When you run `drush`, the global Drush is called first and then hands execution to the site-local Drush. This gives you the convenience of running `drush` without specifying the full path to the executable, without sacrificing the safety provided by a site-local Drush.
29 2. Optional: Copy the [examples/drush.wrapper](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/blob/8.x/examples/drush.wrapper) file to your project root and modify to taste. This is a handy launcher script; add --local here to turn off all global configuration locations, and maintain consistency over configuration/aliases/commandfiles for your team.
30 3. Note that if you have multiple Drupal sites on your system, it is possible to use a different version of Drush with each one.
36 Drush 9 only supports one install method. It requires that your Drupal 8 site be built with Composer and Drush be listed as a dependency.
38 See the [Drush 8 docs](http://docs.drush.org/en/8.x) for installing prior versions of Drush.
40 Install a site-local Drush and Drush Launcher.
42 1. It is recommended that Drupal 8 sites be [built using Composer, with Drush listed as a dependency](https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project). That project already includes Drush in its composer.json. If your Composer project doesn't yet depend on Drush, run `composer require drush/drush` to add it.
43 1. To be able to call `drush` from anywhere, install the [Drush Launcher](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush-launcher). That is a small program which listens on your $PATH and hands control to a site-local Drush that is in the /vendor directory of your Composer project. If you skip this step, run Drush from Drupal root via `../vendor/bin/drush`. In that case Drush's bash integration and custom prompt won't work.
44 1. Run `drush init`. This edits ~/.bashrc so that Drush's custom prompt and bash integration are active.
45 1. See [Usage](http://docs.drush.org/en/master/usage/) for details on using Drush.
46 1. To use a non-default PHP, [edit ~/.bashrc so that the desired PHP is in front of your $PATH](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4145667/how-to-override-the-path-of-php-to-use-the-mamp-path/10653443#10653443). If that is not desirable, you can change your PATH for just one request: `PATH=/path/to/php:$PATH` drush status ...`
50 Drush 9 cannot run commandfiles from Drush 8 and below (e.g. example.drush.inc). See our [guide on porting commandfiles](https://weitzman.github.io/blog/port-to-drush9). Also note that alias and config files use a new .yml format in Drush 9.
