Hi all,

As per subject, I'm installing D7 and I've installed a few modules via web, using the Update Manager + SSH. That's pretty good, however I wonder if there is something similar to what many software systems have (eg, OS update managers, PEAR, Firefox plug-ins). That is: I search for a module from my Drupal installation, it queries an on line module repository and, when I select a module I want to install, it fetches it and optionally its dependencies from the same repository.

Is such a feature available in Drupal? Would be useful if not.

Thanks in advance.
Marco.

For Drupal 6 there is Plugin Manager. But it is easier via command line. It takes a few seconds with drush, which every Drupal user should install and learn, if you have command line access to the server.

Thanks John,

I'm not very keen of learning yet another set of line commands, but that's good to know. I don't find the command to install a single module though.
