# Build New Drupal Site
This covers the steps required to build a new Drupal site using Kalamuna's Drupal site template.
## Dependencies
- DDEV `ddev --version`
## Quick Start
1. Get the name of the project. It should match the JIRA Project ID. For example: "SFUSD". Create a new folder by the lowercase name of the project. SFUSD would become "sfusd".
```sh
mkdir myproject
cd myproject
```
2. Create a new git repository, and pull the starter template into your repository
```sh
git init
git pull git@github.com:kalamuna/kala-drupal-project.git
```
3. Use Composer to set up the project
```sh
ddev composer install
```
4. Update the name of the DDEV project within `.ddev/config.yaml` to the name of the folder:
```diff
-name: kala-drupal-project
+name: myproject
```
5. Start DDEV
```sh
ddev start
```
6. Set up the site with DDEV
``` sh
ddev drush site:install --account-name=admin --account-pass=admin -y
```
7. Provide a login URL
``` sh
ddev drush uli
```
