**Note: This video is no longer available because it is outdated. You can see an updated method for [using Drush to install Drupal](https://drupalize.me/videos/using-drush-install-drupal) from the command line**.

In this video we'll take on the specific task of getting everything in place to run the Drupal installation script, all from the command line. We'll get a copy of the Drupal code (using three different methods: FTP, CVS and Drush), copy our settings.php file, and then create a new database and database user.
