Drupal Releases Recipe Installer Kit for Custom Installation Profiles

Drupal developers now have access to the Recipe Installer Kit, a new toolkit designed to create customizable installation profiles similar to the default Drupal CMS installer. Created by Adam G-H and maintained by him and Tim Plunkett, the package allows users to modify key aspects of the installation process, including recipe selection, mandatory applications, user redirection, and visual appearance, without extensive PHP coding.

Developers can integrate the toolkit into their projects using Composer and generate a stub install profile via Drush. Customization options include modifying the '.info.yml' file and incorporating a tailored theme within the profile’s directory to change the installer’s look and feel. The package is primarily aimed at those seeking a recipe-based installer experience while maintaining flexibility and ease of use.  

Released on February 5, 2025, the Recipe Installer Kit is currently in its alpha stage (1.0.0-alpha1) and is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy. Therefore, users must exercise caution regarding potential vulnerabilities. The module can be found at Drupal.org, where more details and updates are available.
