You can create a drupal site from scratch by following a few simple steps. A drupal site is connected with an OpenShift project, which can have multiple drupal sites. Note that a project (and all drupal sites in it) has a single owner and SSO registration.
## From the OpenShift console
#### 1. Go to the [OpenShift console](https://drupal.cern.ch) page
Check on the left side menu that the **Administrator** option is selected (and **not** Developer).
#### 2. Create a new OpenShift project by clicking `Create Project` and fill in the information
#### 3. Click on `Installed Operators` on the left side menu
Make sure that you are in the correct `Project`. At first you will see a message "No Operators Found". Please wait a couple of minutes until the "DrupalSite Operator" appears as shown in the screenshot below.
#### 7. Click on `Environment` to expand the options panel with the default settings
Environment allows you to define alternative instances of the website with different content, that can be used to test/pilot site building, configuration, or updates.
***Environment name**: Many branches of the website can exist in the same project for development and testing purposes. Set `production` for a public website, or any other value for branches.
***Quality of Service class**: Request appropriate default configurations and resources for the requirements of your website.
***Database Class**: Select the kind of database that the website needs.
***Extra configs repo** [optional]: Provide additional settings to your website in a git repository.
***Site Builder**: Ignore this field.
***Init Clone From** [optional]: InitCloneFrom initializes this environment by cloning the specified DrupalSite (usually production), instead of installing an empty CERN-themed website.
#### 8. Click on `Version` to expand the options panel with the default settings
Version refers to the version and release of the CERN Drupal Distribution that will be deployed to serve this website. Changing this value triggers the website's update process.
***Name**: Select the desired version of the branch of CERN Drupal Distribution.
***Release Spec**: Specify the desired release version. The available releases are:
Keep in mind that related sites (production, development, test) can be grouped under a single project starting from [Step 3](#3-click-on-installed-operators-on-the-left-side-menu).
