Question

Migration Drupal 6 to Drupal 8.

My Drupal 8 site is located at /domains/example.com/public_html/drupal8site

Step 1: Install Drush

Step 2: Browse my drupal site cd /domains/example.com/public_html/drupal8site

Step 3: Use drush command drush migrate-upgrade --legacy-db-url=mysql://user:pass@12.34.56.78/d6db --legacy-root=http://example.com

If I using Drush migrate command above, do I still need to download the Migrate Upgrade module? If yes, where should the module file located?

Answer 1

No. You don't. In Drupal 8.1.3 This module is part of the core.

To have the full list of drush upgrade commands you would need Migrate tools module though.
