This tutorial guides on how to install a module in Drupal.
1) From Drupal'a admin login main menu: Home >> Administration.
Click on MODULES
2) click on INSTALL NEW MODULE
3) Go to Drupal.org and search for the module you want to install. For example, to install the Administration menu: click here: http://drupal.org/project/admin_menu
Scroll downthe page to the Recommended releases to find the download for your release. I prefer using the .zip.
Right click on the filename and "copy link location".
Back to drupal now.
Paste the copied link location into the Install from a URL input box and click the Install button.
4) If the installation was successful, you'll see a message like this:
Click on Enable Newly added Modules, scroll down to the newly created Administration modules section.
5) Enable the Administration menu by ticking the check-box. Click on Save Configuration.
A change in the administration menu is immediately noticed.
The above procedure is applicable to just about any Drupal module fit for installation.
