Magento 2.3.5-p1 - Directory Structure Question

[aglasser1]

I just installed a fresh copy of Magento. I downloaded from https://github.com/magento/magento2/releases. After installing and setting up, I noticed that all the Magento vendor files weren't in vendor/magento, but inside app/code/Magento. My other installs of Magento 2.3.5-p1 aren't structured this way. Why the difference? And can I safely move it all to vendor?

Hi @aglasser1,

For installing magento we have 2 ways.

1. Through github: preferable for developers and contributors.

https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/install-gde/install/cli/install-cli-sample-data-clone.html

2. Through composer: preferable for production website.

@Bhanu Periwal-

I see it, thanks. Had no idea there was a difference.
