Drupal modules: automatically install in LAMP
Blogs20102010-11-14
Some developers install Drupal modules like this:
By looping individual module in Windows:
- download the module into local directory
- unzip
- ftp the module to server’s Drupal module directory.
This is tired work. I wrote a shell script to automatically install all the modules in LAMP without hand interference.
The steps are:
- Collect all the modules you want to install, put them in a seperate file, or simpler in this example, put in the script.
my modules are: views-6.x-2.11.tar.gz cck-6.x-3.x.tar.gz token-6.x-1.15.tar.gz pathauto-6.x-1.5.tar.gz devel-6.x-1.22.tar.gz admin_menu-6.x-1.6.tar.gz advanced_help-6.x-1.2.tar.gz ubercart-6.x-2.4.tar.gz - runing the following script: $ drupal_module_install.sh
That’s it. - If you want to customize the module from command-line, like:
$ **drupal\module_install.sh views-6.x-2.11.tar.gz**_
Pretty easy.
#!/bin/bash
DRUPAL_MODULES='views-6.x-2.11.tar.gz cck-6.x-3.x.tar.gz token-6.x-1.15.tar.gz pathauto-6.x-1.5.tar.gz devel-6.x-1.22.tar.gz admin_menu-6.x-1.6.tar.gz advanced_help-6.x-1.2.tar.gz ubercart-6.x-2.4.tar.gz'
DRUPAL_DIR=$HOME/drupal/
TMP=$DRUPAL_DIR/tmp/
DEST=$DRUPAL_DIR/sites/all/modules/
if [ ! -d $TMP ]; then
mkdir $TMP
fi
cd $TMP
if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
module=$1
strip_name=`echo $i | cut -f 1 -d -`
if [ -d $DEST/$strip_name ]; then
echo "The '$module' already exists in $DEST.nTo install new, delete it first."
exit 8;
fi
wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/$module
tar -zxvf $module
mv $strip_name $DEST
else
for i in `echo $DRUPAL_MODULES`
do
strip_name=`echo $i | cut -f 1 -d -`
# or: $strip_name=`echo $i | sed -e 's/-.*$//'`
if [ -d $DEST/$strip_name ]; then
echo "The '$strip_name' already exists in $DEST. Ignore. To install new, delete $DEST/$strip_name first."
else
wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/$i
tar -zxvf $i
mv $strip_name $DEST
fi
done
fi
cd -This saves time. For other modules installation, e.g Perl’s modules, PHP’s packages and libraries, the same method is applicable.
