+a fair amount of time configuring it after installing. It plays 20 questions with you filling in a lot of changes to default behaviors. Then you can expect to spend more time configuring things that are special to your organization. Setting up payment processing also takes time.<br>

CiviCRM is vastly easier to install now with an installer which does most of the work. <br><br>see <a href="http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/Drupal+Installation+Guide+for+CiviCRM+4.1+-+Drupal+7" target="_blank">http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/Drupal+Installation+Guide+for+CiviCRM+4.1+-+Drupal+7</a><br>
<br>A couple of points: <br>1. Use a separate database for CiviCRM (even though Drupal db uses InnoDB tables now as well)<br>2. Install CiviCRM in sites/all/modules (even if you're not using Drupal multisite) it seems to be happiest there.<br>

Hi Roger, You should take a look at CiviCRM, which is aimed at<br>
non-profits and charities. The way to make donations is very<br>
fine-grained. It might look a bit daunting at first, but it can do<br>
exactly what you want it to do.<br>

Thanks Eljay, it certainly seems the way to go.<br>
<br>
I'm about to try civicrm in my home drupal7 dev - I experimented a bit<br>
on my home pc some years ago in early drupal 6 and found it complex back<br>
then.<br>
Finding how to install civicrm in drupal 7 is not easy because much of<br>
the "civicrm stuff on the web" still defaults to drupal 6, and from what<br>
I see it's still a fairly daunting procedure.<br>
<br>
I haven't found suitable install instruction for drupal 7 .<br>
<br>
Do you know if they've made the install easier for drupal 7 and where I<br>
can find the apps please, or is it still a wget procedure.<br>
<br>
Thank you for any help<br>
Cheers<br>
