New modules can be added to the Developer Portal Drupal. This section, as an example, illustrates how to install an SMTP module.

Go to https://www.drupal.org/project/smtp/releases/7.x-1.7 and download SMTP module in the Drupal installation.

After downloading the module, it needs to be installed on the Developer Portal Drupal by performing the following steps:

1. Log on to Drupal as administrator, go to the Modules tab in the main menu and click the Install new module option in the drop-down.
