How to install dkan

[ugintl]

I want to install dkan for D8 or 9, but I did not find anything about how to do it. I do not want to install it on an existing site.

I have already visited this link. From this link "Starting a new project

Follow the instructions on the DKAN Tools README to generate new Drupal site with DKAN installed on your system." I also followed DKAN tools readme link, but no guidance there as well. I am missing something?

@ugintl add DKAN to your site with

composer require 'getdkan/dkan'
composer update

This will add DKAN to your project and install all dependencies.

Hi, i cant install dkan 2 in a new drupal 8.9.14 website. composer require 'getdkan/dkan' or composer require 'getdkan/dkan:2.10.1' fails. Please advice. Thank you.

@nmichalakis did you make the changes to your composer.json file listed in the release notes?

[nmichalakis]

@janette thank you! that was it. I updated the composer.json as described in the release notes (https://github.com/GetDKAN/dkan/releases/tag/2.10.0) and then composer require 'getdkan/dkan'.

The real solution, for a new DKAN site, is to use the getdkan/recommended-project metapackage which you can read about here: https://dkan.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/index.html#starting-a-new-dkan-project

To add DKAN do your existing site, you'll need to modify your composer.json to include asset-packagist, as outlined here: https://github.com/GetDKAN/dkan/releases/tag/2.10.0

Then you should be able to say composer require getdkan/dkan -W.
