Acquia Drupal is a quick and easy way to install a complete Drupal environment on a personal computer, including the Apache web server, PHP, and MySQL. You can use Acquia to learn more about Drupal and to experiment with its features in a testing environment. However, you should ask the Library Systems Office for permission if you want to install Acquia Drupal on your staff workstation.
