Question

How do I install/setup Drupal Console on Windows 7? In the video by the author, the environment used is Linux.

I tried to install it on Windows 7, but I wasn't able to use it to generate a module code.

I have no idea what your question is. I have no idea what "Drupal 8 console" is. If you want run a server and drupal on windows 7, the easiest way might be to install "wampsever", add the drupal files to the www directory. That is how I have been doing it the past few years, until I started running a virtual machine. – Burdine

Console project is available at drupal.org/project/console project help in creating modules very fast. But I am not getting it worked on windows. – Outhe

Oh, well maybe do what I do and run a virtual linux server on your machine. I use virtualBox – Burdine

Answer 1

You can download the drupal console either using Git Bash

$curl https://drupalconsole.com/installer -L -o drupal

Or using windows command prompt

c:\>php -r "readfile('https://drupalconsole.com/installer');" > drupal

After downloading this file, place it beside php.exe file within your php folder (not project folder), restart your terminal/cmd-prompt and type

$drupal

to get started.

Besides downloading Drupal Console .phar file, you can also install Drupal Console using composer on windows.

First Download and install composer in your system.

Then on your windows command prompt or git terminal

$composer global require drupal/console:@stable

Answer 3

Here's the full list of steps I took:

• php -r "readfile('https://drupalconsole.com/installer');" > drupal.phar
• added installation location to the global PATH
• created a drupal.bat file in the same directory as drupal.phar. drupal.bat contains: @php "%~dp0drupal.phar" %*

Now you can call >drupal from any location. I would upvote @Nate's answer, but this is a new account.

Answer 4

• Open Git bash (or any terminal with curl capability)
• Run curl https://drupalconsole.com/installer -L -o drupal.phar
• Create file drupal.bat with content @php "%~dp0drupal.phar" %*
• Copy both files (drupal.phar and drupal.bat) into C:\WINDOWS
• Open new Command prompt window then try typing drupal list.

This steps assume:

• Your PHP is on Path environment variables and you can run php --version.
• You have Git for Windows installed.
