Please contact sales@herodevs.com for the direct download link for Drupal 7.

 

Using Composer

Install Using NES Registry Using composer require:

1. Create an auth.json file or update your existing one

    - DISCLAIMER: This file should be ignored from SCM and guarded appropriately.

{
  "bearer": {
    "registry.nes.herodevs.com": ACCESS_TOKEN
  }
}

    - Contact sales@herodevs.com for ACCESS_TOKEN 

2. Add the custom HeroDevs repository to your composer.json file

    - The NES entry must be before the packages.drupal.org entry for it to take precedence

"repositories": [
  {
    "type": "composer",
    "url": "https://registry.nes.herodevs.com/composer/repository"
  }
]

3. Add the NES version of Drupal to your composer.json

composer require "neverendingsupport/drupal:7.101.2+7.101.1:drupal:trial" --no-update

4. Install NES Drupal core and just its dependencies with:

composer update drupal/drupal --with-dependencies --no-dev

5. You are now ready to begin integration tests 

 

Manually install with Drupal 7 NES Tarball:

1. Download the tarball using the steps listed in "Direct Download" or the following curl command, then place the file in your root directory. 

curl --header "Authorization: Bearer $NES_ACCESS_TOKEN" --output ./release.zip \
--location https://registry.nes.herodevs.com/composer/pkg/neverendingsupport/drupal/7.101.2+7.101.1:drupal:trial/release.zip

    - Contact sales@herodevs.com for NES_ACCESS_TOKEN

2. Add the following to the composer.json file

    - The NES entry must be before the packages.drupal.org entry for it to take precedence

"repositories": [
  {
    "type": "package",
    "package": {
      "name": "drupal/drupal",
      "version": "7.101.2",
      "type": "drupal-core",
      "dist": {
        "type": "tar",
        "url": "nes-d7.zip"
      },
      "autoload": {
        "classmap": ["includes"]
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "type": "composer",
    "url": "https://packages.drupal.org/7"
  }
]

3. Do not delete the composer.lock file. You will only want to update Drupal 7 core.

4. Clear the composer cache using:

composer clear-cache

5. Install the new Drupal core and just its dependencies with:

composer update drupal/drupal --with-dependencies --no-dev

6. Remove the zip from the root directory

7. You are now ready to begin integration tests 

 

Using Drush

These instructions assume that Drush is already installed on your system. 

1. Download the tarball using the steps listed in "Direct Download" or the following curl command, then place the file in your project's root directory. 

NES_D7_VERSION="7.101.2+7.101.1:drupal:trial" curl --header "Authorization: Bearer $NES_ACCESS_TOKEN" --output ./nes-d7.zip \
  --location 'https://registry.nes.herodevs.com/composer/pkg/neverendingsupport/drupal/$NES_D7_VERSION/release.zip'

 

2. Create a drush.make file 

* In this example the file would be named drupal7_nes.make and the assumed path to your project root is /var/www/html – both of which must be accurate to your project's structure for step #3.

core = 7.x
projects[drupal][version] = 7.102
projects[drupal][download][type] = "get"
projects[drupal][download][url] = "file:///var/www/html/nes-d7.zip"

3. Run the Drush command in your terminal 

drush make drupal7_nes.make 

4. Finish the standard installation process as normal
