If you’re new to Drupal, simply installing it can be an intimidating proposition. Especially if you don’t know your SQL server from your FTP. If you don’t want to mess about doing all the hard work of installing a basic installation of Drupal, then let someone else do it for you.

This tool is not very well known, but it’s invaluable. It’s the Ubercart installer. Ubercart is a module for Drupal that turns Drupal into a full fledged e-commerce solution. To make it easier to install for potential users, they have an installer on their website. An installer which can also install a regular installation of Drupal without Ubercart included.

All you have to do is enter all the relevant information when prompted and the Ubercart Installer will do all the Drupal install work for you. It works like a charm and it works quickly every time.

Also, Ubercart is a fantastic little package and I highly recommend it if you want to set up an e-commerce site without a lot of capital outlay. Ubercart is the perfect open source shopping cart solution. It’s now possible to set up a full featured e-commerce website and shopping card with free, open-source software. Brilliant.
