This article will show you how to install a module in drupal.

Drupal modules are pieces of software that are added to the drupal cms software to add some features. For example a contact form can be added using drupal modules. This feature doesn’t come built into drupal by default.

Drupal modules can be downloaded from the drupal moule repository. Click here to go to the module repository.

Once you dowload a module do the following steps to install it.

1. Extract the archive to a folder on your computer. We are going to upload the directory that has the module files (*.info, *.module *.install) in it.

2. In the directory where you installed drupal, under sites/all/ create a folder called modules.

3. Upload the folder extracted in step 1 to this directory.

4. Log into your drupal installation as an administrator. Go to Administer > Site Building > Modules

5. The module must be listed in the resulting page. Click on the check box near the name of the module and click save configuration.

That’s it!
