Answers.Body: <p>Active Development has restarted on the Drupal 8 version. It is possible to get it installed now, although it takes a slight different process than with Drupal 7. </p>
  
  <p>Assuming you have Drupal 8.2.5 installed.</p>
  
  <p>Download and install the 8.x-3.x-dev version of the Libraries module:
  <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/libraries">https://www.drupal.org/project/libraries</a></p>
  
  <p>Download the most recent version of CiviCRM 4.7 from CiviCRM.org , or if your a little more adventurous, the <a href="https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/">master branch from github</a>. </p>
  
  <p>Put CiviCRM core in /libraries folder of your Drupal 8 installation.</p>
  
  <p>Delete the Drupal 7 modules from this download which would now be in /libraries/civicrm/drupal . You can delete the whole drupal folder.</p>
  
  <p>Next get the 8.x-master branch of the <a href="https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal/tree/8.x-master">CiviCRM Core drupal module</a></p>
  
  <p>Put this in your standard Drupal 8 modules directory, /modules/civicrm</p>
  
  <p>Now log in to your Drupal 8 site and goto /admin/modules</p>
  
  <p>Enable CiviCRM, but do it by itself, do not enable any other modules at the same time. </p>
  
  <p>This will attempt to install CiviCRM in the same database as your Drupal installation. </p>
  
  <p>You will get some feedback if it has issues connecting to the database.

  There will be a fix soon for this issue</p>
  
  <p>Now you will have CiviCRM installed. In my experience, there was an error at the root civicrm page at path /civicrm , due to something with the Dashboard.  To fix this you must simply set the default organization and email address and From Name here: civicrm/admin/domain?action=update&amp;reset=1</p>

Answers.Text: Yes there's some official documentation coming. Note that step 2 as written will install a development version - most people probably want to restrict it to a particular numbered version, e.g. `composer require civicrm/civicrm-asset-plugin:^5.25 civicrm/civicrm-drupal-8:^5.25 civicrm/civicrm-packages:^5.25`. Also make sure in step 2 that you run that from within my_site_name_dir, i.e. first `cd my_site_name_dir`.

  Active Development has restarted on the Drupal 8 version. It is possible to get it installed now, although it takes a slight different process than with Drupal 7.
  
  Assuming you have Drupal 8.2.5 installed.
  
  Download and install the 8.x-3.x-dev version of the Libraries module:
  <https://www.drupal.org/project/libraries>
  
  Download the most recent version of CiviCRM 4.7 from CiviCRM.org , or if your a little more adventurous, the [master branch from github](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/).
  
  Put CiviCRM core in /libraries folder of your Drupal 8 installation.
  
  Delete the Drupal 7 modules from this download which would now be in /libraries/civicrm/drupal . You can delete the whole drupal folder.
  
  Next get the 8.x-master branch of the [CiviCRM Core drupal module](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal/tree/8.x-master)
  
  Put this in your standard Drupal 8 modules directory, /modules/civicrm
  
  Now log in to your Drupal 8 site and goto /admin/modules
  
  Enable CiviCRM, but do it by itself, do not enable any other modules at the same time.
  
  This will attempt to install CiviCRM in the same database as your Drupal installation.
  
  You will get some feedback if it has issues connecting to the database.

  Building on the previous work, Allen Shaw made some progress recently with assistance from Tim, username_6 and Nicolas at the Vail Colorado sprint hosted by Nicolas Ganivet.
  
  The navigation menu and dashboard are now working.
  
  For convenient assistance with developing, it is now possible to install D8 with CiviCRM using
  
  civibuild create d8-master
  
  Also, the new cividev environment builder ( <https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-buildkit-vagrant/blob/master/README.md>) can
  configure a VirtualBox using Vagrant on your local machine with this or other builds supported by buildkit.
