| Drupal version | Module directory location |
|---|---|
| Drupal 7 | /sites/all/modules or /sites/all/modules/contrib |
| Current Drupal version | /modules or /modules/contrib |
Download and add the contributed module to the modules directory in the feature branch. For example:
curl http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/foo.tar.gz | tar fzUsing Live Development mode, you can temporarily make the docroot of your Development environment writable, so you can add modules or make other changes.
Here are the steps for installing a module on a Cloud Platform environment using Live Development, and then committing it. It’s important that you commit your changes to your Cloud Platform code repository before you disable Live Development. Otherwise, the new module won’t be part of your application’s code base.
