Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Update INSTALL to include missing steps 3 and 5:
Installation
------------
1. Create the SQL tables. This depends a little on your system, but the most
common method is:
mysql -u username -ppassword drupal < notify.mysql
2. Create a subdirectory 'notify' in the Drupal modules/ directory.
Copy the notify.module and the notify.inc to that directory.
3. Enable the module in administer > modules
4. Check "settings" in the administration and set the module
settings to your liking. Note: e-mail updates can only happen as frequently
as the crontab is setup to. Check your crontab settings.
5. Set permissions for roles in administer > users > configure > permissions
6. To enable notifications go to "my notify settings" in the account block and
set your settings there.

boris mann commentedI'm not going to change this status to "by design", but those two steps are the same for every single Drupal module -- you always must enable and set permissions.
I haven't looked at other INSTALL files, but I suspect they won't include those steps.

aries commentedMost of the modules has those "triival" advice. I don't think that those lines are prejudicial to the INSTALL.txt

RobRoy commentedI'm the new maintainer of the notify.module and have updated the README.txt in head and will be doing a minor clean up over the next few days.
