How to Install Drupal 11 Without Composer: Blog Post
A recent blog post from Poakpong.com confirms that users can install and create a Drupal 11 website without using Composer, despite the platform’s strong push toward the tool.
While Composer simplifies dependency management, some users may lack SSH access or prefer a manual installation method. The blog explains that Drupal still provides compressed .tar.gz or .zip files for direct downloads. Users can extract these files onto their servers, configure database settings, and complete installation via a web browser.
The report notes that Drupal 11 requires SQLite 3.45 or later, meaning users may need to update their server environments. Additional modules can also be installed manually, but complex ones requiring external libraries are easier to manage with Composer.
Although Composer remains the recommended approach for Drupal site management, the blog confirms that a traditional installation method is still viable for those who prefer it.
