This gem provides a number of tasks which are useful for deploying Drupal projects.

Credit goes to railsless-deploy for many ideas here.

These gems must be installed on your system first.

• capistrano
• rubygems
• railsless-deploy

You can check to see a list of installed gems by running this.

$ gem query --local

If any of these gems is missing you can install them with:

$ gem install gemname

Finally install the capistrano-drupal recipes as a gem. # gem install capistrano-drupal

Open your application's Capfile and make it begin like this:

require 'rubygems'
require 'railsless-deploy'
require 'capistrano-drupal'
load    'config/deploy'

You should then be able to proceed as you would usually, you may want to familiarise yourself with the truncated list of tasks, you can get a full list with:

$ cap -T

• Split out the tasks into indivual files/modules
• Use drush aliases
• Support install profiles
• Support composer
