Issue
-----

I would like to use Drush 11 but when I try to use commands with drush 11 I see the error:

    drush11: command not found

Resolution
----------

Drush 11 is not currently pre-installed on Cloud Platform, however Acquia recommends you require a site-local Drush as part of your codebase, [not your home directory](/node/55869), and run your commands with a specific major version of Drush. 

To [upgrade to Drush 11](/node/56323), you can add it as a project dependency (using Composer) to your Drupal codebase. Drush should be locating in the vendor directory and there should be a drush symlink in the vendor/bin directory.

Using Drush 11 in Cloud hooks
-----------------------------

Use the vendor drush from your hooks, instead of using just drush.

    /var/www/html/[SITE].[ENV]/vendor/bin/drush
