<h2><b>Installation</b></h2>
|
|
<p><i>For Drupal 7 version all you need to do is install the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/geophp" rel="nofollow">Drupal GeoPHP module</a>, which is required by geofield.</i></p>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
<h3><b>Drupal 9 & 10, and GeoPHP library dependency</b></h3>
|
|
<p>Since <strong>8.x-1.0-alpha2</strong> version, this module is not depending on Drupal GeoPHP module anymore.<br>
|
|
<b>The Drupal 8 & 9 version of Geofield module needs to be installed <a href="https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/using-composer/using-composer-to-manage-drupal-site-dependencies" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">using Composer</a></b>, it means simply running the following command from your project root (where the main composer.json file is sited):</p>
|
|
<p><b>$ composer require 'drupal/geofield'</b></p>
|
|
<p>This process will also download the required <a href="https://github.com/phayes/geoPHP" title="GeoPHP library" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">GeoPHP library</a> dependency (that will be sited in the /vendor folder).</p>
|
