Am trying to install my first module to the Drupal 8. When I click on Install Module, Drupal is redirecting me to the http://localhost/drupal-8.7.1/core/authorize.php page.
When I am working on my local environment, why Drupal needs FTP connections. Any configurations am mising, this is completely new local dev environment.
This page needs FTP username, password, hostname and port , this is the error am getting after redirection.
Failed to connect to the server. The server reports the following message: Cannot connect to FTP Server, check settings
For more help installing or updating code on your server, see the handbook. WARNING: You are not using an encrypted connection, so your password will be sent in plain text. Learn more.
Edit 1: I tried to post on drupal.org but Drupal 8.* version is not getting listed under Version dropdown. I can see only 7.* in version dropdown. https://www.drupal.org/node/add/project-issue/drupal
