Composer is the preferred way of managing your modules and themes as it automatically handles dependencies and prevents errors. For detailed information about Composer, visit [https://getcomposer.org/](https://getcomposer.org/).

The Site Studio module and theme do not currently exist on drupal.org. You must specify the repository paths in the composer configuration and add the dependencies.

1.  Open a terminal window and navigate to your project root directory.
2.  Run the following command to require the Site Studio module:
    
        composer require acquia/cohesion:6.0.3
    
    In this command, change the version number to correspond to the latest release of Site Studio. The latest release is available on the [packagist page](https://packagist.org/packages/acquia/cohesion).
    
3.  Log in to the Site Studio user interface as an admin user.
4.  Click **Extend** on the admin toolbar.
5.  Enable Site Studio core and dependent modules together except the **Site Studio example custom element** module.
6.  Click the form submit button and agree to install the dependencies.
    
    The admin toolbar displays the **Site Studio** menu item.
    
7.  Alternatively, you can enable the modules with the following Drush command:
    
        drush pm-enable cohesion cohesion_base_styles cohesion_custom_styles cohesion_elements cohesion_style_helpers cohesion_sync cohesion_templates cohesion_website_settings -y
