CiviCRM is vastly easier to install now with an installer which does most of the work.

see http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/Drupal+Installation+Guide+for+CiviCRM+4.1+-+Drupal+7

A couple of points:
1. Use a separate database for CiviCRM (even though Drupal db uses InnoDB tables now as well)
2. Install CiviCRM in sites/all/modules (even if you're not using Drupal multisite) it seems to be happiest there.

"Install CiviCRM"

sites/all/modules

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/civicrm/civicrm-stable/4.1.5/civicrm-4.1.5-drupal.tar.gz
tar -xzvf civicrm-4.1.5-drupal.tar.gz

Run CiviCRM Installer

http://example.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php

That's it!

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

Thanks Eljay, it certainly seems the way to go.

I'm about to try civicrm in my home drupal7 dev - I experimented a bit
on my home pc some years ago in early drupal 6 and found it complex back
then.
Finding how to install civicrm in drupal 7 is not easy because much of
the "civicrm stuff on the web" still defaults to drupal 6, and from what
I see it's still a fairly daunting procedure.

I haven't found suitable install instruction for drupal 7 .

Do you know if they've made the install easier for drupal 7 and where I
can find the apps please, or is it still a wget procedure.

Thank you for any help
Cheers
Roger
