Install Drupal 8 with Composer

There are several ways to install a Dupal 8 site instance with Composer, but the following includes the automated options that I prefer most.

$ composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev [[[ /path/to/site/root/parent ]]] --stability dev --no-interaction

[[[ /path/to/site/root/parent ]]] = the path to the parent directory above the web/docroot of the site.

feature	drupal-composer/drupal-project
directory structure	web is subdir
installer-paths config	yes
repositories config	yes
includes drush	yes
includes drupal console	yes
