Enabling Drupal Commerce modules

Now that you have a working Drupal installation, we can install the Drupal Commerce modules and dependencies.

Contributed modules should be placed in the sites/all/modules/contrib folder.

Download the following modules and unzip them into the sites/all/modules/contrib folder:

Your folder should now look like the following screenshot:

Next, go to the modules screen available at http://drupalcommerce.localhost:8082/#overlay=admin/modules link.

Drupal Commerce and its dependencies are made up of a large number of modules.

Rather than enable them all right now, we will enable them gradually in the forthcoming chapters, so as to help introduce the functionality provided by each one in turn.

To start with, enable the following module from the Chaos Tools Suite package:

  • Chaos tools

Next, enable the following modules from the Commerce package:

  • Cart
  • Checkout
  • Commerce
  • Commerce UI
  • Customer
  • Line Item
  • Order
  • Price
  • Product
  • Product UI
  • Product Pricing
  • Product Reference

Enable the following module from the Fields package:

  • Address Field

Enable the following modules from the Other package:

  • Entity API
  • Entity tokens
  • Token

Enable the following modules from the Rules package:

  • Rules
  • Rules UI

Enable the following modules from the Views package:

  • Views
  • View UI

Finally, we probably don't want the Drupal Comment feature active, so disable that module now.
