# Install on Drupal
Drupal is the odd one out here, in the best way: you don't install the npm
package or wire up a backend. The **Drupal module is a complete FlowDrop
backend** and ships the editor with it. Install the module, and you have both the
editor and a working API in one step.

  The canonical Drupal docs cover Composer install, enabling the module, and
  permissions — the source of truth for setup.

## What you get

Unlike the JS frameworks — where you mount the editor and bring your own backend
— the Drupal module already serves node definitions, stores workflows as config
entities, runs executions, and handles auth through standard Drupal permissions.

<Note>
  **No backend to wire up.**

  Because the backend is built in, there's no `endpointConfig` to set up and no
  "connect a backend" step. Enable the module and the editor is live.
