Step-by-Step
Step 1: Install and open the app
On Mac: Unzip the download, and drag the application into the Applications folder.
On Windows: Double click the download.
When you open the app, it will begin an initial setup process to install everything needed to run Drupal CMS locally on your machine.
This may take a moment the first time you launch the application, but after the first launch, each subsequent launch will take you back to the site you started.
Step 2: Click 'Visit site' to open the site in your browser
A one button application? Yup. Once the app has initialized, just click the button to open your local Drupal CMS site in your browser. Any changes you make will be saved, so that you can start from wherever you left off the next time you open the app.
Step 3: Select your tempate during site setup
Once you've opened the site in your web browser, you'll be taken through the initial setup process. The site installer will ask for some basic information to start the setup, and then you will be asked to choose your template. Select your favorite template from the list of options - and it will be installed.
That's it! You're ready to try it out!
