Lando is a Docker based development tool, which is much faster than Vagrant-based tools, since processes are run in containers directly on the host machine.

The requirements on the host machine. Note that a database is not required:

ScotchBox Composer Drupal 8

Setting up ScotchBox 3.5 (Ubuntu 16.04) for Drupal 8 using the official Composer template.

cv

With the CiviCRM command line tool cv you can run cron jobs and perform other related tasks from the terminal.

To install cv without sudo access, for example on shared hosting, you can install cv. First, you need to find (in this case in Scotch Box / Vagrant) the available environment paths with:

$PATH
