Installation Guide for Drupal 6.15

  1. Download the latest stable release of Drupal-6.15 at http://drupal.org/project/drupal
    Note:
    • Drupal Version 7.0 is also available in Alpha2 release. You may wait for its stable version if you want to deploy it for production use.
  2. Drupal files and its associated modules are compressed in .tar.gz format. For Unix/Linux users proceed to step 3 and for Windows users, proceed to step 5.
  3. For Unix/Linux users, you can extract Drupal using the following command:
    # tar -xzvpf drupal-x.x.tar.gz
  4. This command will create a new directory drupal-x.x/ which contains all Drupal files and directories while preserving its file and directory permissions. If you used the former path, you can access your drupal site at http://localhost/

  5. Move this directory into your web server's document root or your public HTML directory.
