Hiyas all,

Newbie to Drupal, possibly biting off more than I can chew (so far)... I've downloaded the Views module in tar.gz, and I've untarred it. It has more than the usual "just add the module to the modules directory" - but has no INSTALL.txt file that explains what the root directory files are for...

I looked at the documentation online, but it doesn't have install instructions there. Am I missing something obvious?

I'm trying to figure out what to do with:

-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 26783 Mar 17 13:05 views_data.inc
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 34785 Mar 3 05:46 views_form.inc
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 9756 Mar 21 01:05 views.install
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 47138 Mar 21 01:05 views.module
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 2380 Feb 1 17:58 views.mysql
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 17719 Mar 19 01:05 views_query.inc
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 59433 Mar 21 01:05 views_ui.module

Those :p (if anything)

I'm assuming I can just copy these into modules/

-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 3430 Mar 17 21:44 views_book.inc
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 2317 Mar 17 21:44 views_comment.inc
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 0 Mar 17 21:44 views_forum.inc
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 18738 Mar 19 19:31 views_node.inc
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 291 Mar 17 21:44 views_profile.inc
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 306 Mar 17 21:44 views_statistics.inc
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 14333 Mar 17 21:44 views_taxonomy.inc
-rw-r--r-- 1 domain1029750 vweb 9336 Mar 19 16:31 views_user.inc

Thank you =)

I would:
copy into modules/views/
Then enable them in:
admin > modules

mysql -u dbuser -h dbhostname -pPassword dbname < views.mysql

I'm not familiar with whether or not this is obligatory for the views module, but it's usually how it's done.

You do not need to do this, with the new installer.
Just install the module. The .install file should take care for everything else.
