Getting Started with Drupal and Drush

As part of participating in Google Code-In this year, I am introducing myself to Drupal, as an excersise to see how it works and what it offers as an alternative to WordPress for building content managed websites. As part of this process, I am learning how to install Drupal on an Ubuntu-powered web server running nginx and PHP 7.

To make installing and managing Drupal much easier, we will be shell interface for Drupal known as Drush. Drush is an incredibly useful tool, allowing you to perform a number of various tasks from the command line as a faster and more efficient alternative to using the graphical web based administration.

Setting up the server

First step is to install a web server for Drupal to run on. The first component of this is nginx, a fast and effecient server which can integrate with PHP. It is avaliable in the default Ubuntu repostories and can be installed like so:

sudo apt install nginx

	<?php

	const ACTION_NAME = 'shea_ajax_example';

	$handler = function () {
	check_ajax_referer( ACTION_NAME );

	wp_send_json_success( 'it works!' );
	};

	<?php

	/**
	* Simplifies the WordPress loop.
	*
	* @param WP_Query\|WP_Post[] $iterable
	*
	* @return Generator
	*/
	function wp_loop( $iterable = null ) {

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	pids=$(ps ax \| grep -iE 'chrome\|firefox\|vivaldi' \| grep -i flash \| awk '{ print $1 }')

	for pid in $pids
	do
	file -L /proc/$pid/fd/* \| grep -iE 'video\|media\|mp4\|flash' \| cut -f 1 -d ':'
	done

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	for process in chrome firefox
	do
	pid=$(ps ax \| grep -i $process \| grep -i flash \| cut -f 1 -d ' ')
	file -L /proc/$pid/fd/* \| grep -iE 'video\|media\|mp4\|flash' \| cut -f 1 -d ':'
	done

	<?php

	namespace Shea\Example_Plugin;

	/**
	* Enable autoloading of plugin classes in namespace.
	*
	* @param $class_name
	*/
	function autoload( $class_name ) {

	/****************** Line Follow ******************/

	task LineFollow()
	{
	OnFwd(L_MOTOR, POWER);
	while(true)
	{
	if(SENSOR_A_BLACK)
	{
	if(SENSOR_B_WHITE)
