Get started by downloading the official Drupal core files. These official releases come bundled with a variety of modules and themes to give you a good starting point to help build your site. Drupal core includes basic community features like blogging, forums, and contact forms, and can be easily extended by downloading other contributed modules and themes. Before installing Drupal, please review the system requirements and the Installation Guide. Information on version numbers can be found in the online documentation.
