  What is the general procedure to install a generic module?
  
  Forgive the basic question, but I can't find the answer to this seemingly simple question. It's not in the Drew Vogel guide in any obvious place (i.e. PN-i-gsg/modules-understanding.html)
  
  There is no faq on the modules page.
  
  A search in forums for ' install module ' turns up no results.
  
  thanks,
  Dave

  Usually, not always, it is fairly simple. Copy the code of the module into the modules directory, making sure that it creates a new directory. Go the Administration menu, select the Modules menu option and select regenerate. In the list that is put up you should now find the module in the list somewhere, with the options of Initialise | Remove | Edit, seelect Initialise and then Activate..
  
  Now, there are some modules that are a bit more complicated or that requires a bit more work, or that requires a few files to be installed outside of the modules directory. The best place to find out about any such requirements, is to find a readme file (or similar) and read through that before you install the module.
  
  A good place to find out about modules and how they should be designed and setup is the Module Developers Guide.
