Installing Modules in Drupal

In my previous posts, Ive explained about the installation and configuration of Drupal and WAMP.
Now, lets hit it...
When we install drupal, there are a lot of modules that come with it. But to use the complete power of drupal, we must use the freely available modules on drupal.org.
Here we go...

1.Goto drupal.org and download the module of your choice which comes as a tar.gz file.
2.Unzip the file.
3. Create a folder called modules in C:\wamp\www\drupal\sites\all\
4. Thats it.
5. Now on your drupal menu, goto Administer- Site Buliding.
6. Scroll down the page to see whether your module name appears or not.
7. Check the box to enable the module.

In my next post Ill write about the installation of themes.
