Drupal Modules— The easy way…

Drupal has a lot of scope in web development in the near future. Learning it isn’t difficult and has lots of features built in which can be easily integrated into websites without coding.

• Go to the module docs where all information about the project is given.
• Check if your currently installed Drupal version is supported.
• Now download the .tar.gz file or just copy the link of file.
• Now go back to your Drupal site and log in with an administrator(root) account.
• Now migrate to the Extend section in the menu bar.
• Click on + Install module . Now upload the file or just paste the file link and click install button.
• Hurray 😃! You just installed a Drupal Module.

Note: You cannot install any Drupal modules with an account limited to user access. You must use an administrator account.

Possible Problems(Which I faced): When trying to manually install modules with composer, directly installing the module will cause Apache to produce errors. Instead, after adding repository details in composer.json , Execute composer update and then composer require drupal/<module_name> .

Using and creating websites with Drupal gives me an amazing experience. The ease with which one can create blazing fast websites with drupal allows anyone(like me) with no programming experience to get into the world of web development.
