what make me wondering was that i have gotten a core with all imprtant things in it - but without the folder
sites
profiles

well this was somewhat funny and curious - so i decided to re-engineer it and finally i got the following:
but - t his does not work too.

Does any body have a working version 8.x Can you put it somewhere on Github or some place were i can download it or
can you send it to me!?

I never tried to install it, but it is a good idea to test it as that is one way you can can contribute to the issue queues. Though using it on live a site is a bad idea as updates may not work, you may have to do a fresh install each time there are updates!

Did you make a new database, and a settings.php manually just as you would with a fresh Drupal 7 install (unless using a script installer or drush make)?

I have successfully installed D8 at my online shared webhosting account.

It installs in the same manner as D6, and D7.

Do not be alarmed/ put-off if you get a '500 Error' page
upon your first visit to your site.

Just refresh that page, and hopefully you, like me,
will be merrily on your way.

If you want to install Drupal 8 on your MAC, or Windows PC
home computer ('local' install)
Use the absolute beginners step-by-step guide

I have not tried this, but I assume it will work fine.


All the best; intended.
