4. To capture the URL of the installation file, right-click the Download link for the<br />

version you wish to install, and select the appropriate copy link location option<br />

from the browser’s options menu. Return to the module administration page<br />

and paste the URL for the file in the top text box. You are now ready to install the<br />

module.<br />

5. To begin the installation process, click the Install button. <strong>Drupal</strong> will download<br />

the installation file from <strong>Drupal</strong>.org, expand the compressed file, move all of the<br />

files and directories associated with the module to the appropriate directories on<br />

your server, and then run the installation script associated with your module.<br />

6. The module is now installed but not yet enabled. To use the module, you must<br />

enable it by checking the appropriate boxes on the module administration page<br />

(see Figure 11-4) and clicking the “Save configuration” button at the bottom of<br />

the page. For Display Suite, you will want to enable at minimum the Display Suite<br />

and Display Suite UI modules.<br />

same process to install any contributed module you wish to add to your site.<br />
