Laragon is downloading & extracting data...

Laragon can handle 7z, tar.gz, zip or composer. Believe or not, Laragon can create a Laravel project in LESS THAN A MINUTE. Just try it: Menu > Quick app > Laravel 7z
Laragon comes with some pre-defined projects. You can put other projects easily yourself. Just click Menu > Quick app > Configuration and edit the configuration file.
The file is: {LARAGON_ROOT}\usr\sites.conf

AutoCreateDatabase: if true, Laragon will automatically create a database corresponding to the project name.
Cached: if true, compressed files from remote servers will be stored in {LARAGON_ROOT}\tmp\cached, next time Laragon doesn't need to download them.
Copied for original discussion Is it possible to add Drupal 9 & 10 as quick add option #408
Laragon is very flexible with customising the quick app menu.
I'm not familiar with Drupal, but I took a quick look at the docs and tried adding the following to the menu (Laragon menu > Quick app > Configuration...):
# Drupal
Drupal=composer create-project drupal/recommended-project %s
According to the drupal download docs, after running the composer command above I need to run
cd drupal && php -d memory_limit=256M web/core/scripts/drupal quick-start demo_umami🤷
I tried to use quick app without the command
- I used the project name drupal-test,
- The database drupal-test was automatically created. (I would prefer drupal_test myself)
- The project was created in laragon\www\drupal-test
After installation and accepting the prompt to accept changes, allow elevated privileges. The website could be opened using the pretty URL http://drupal-test.test
For Drupal 9 I suspect a specific version will need to be installed, try:
Drupal-9=composer create-project 'drupal/recommended-project:^9.0' %s
