When working on your Drupal 8 website, Drupal hosting<\/a> users often find the need to install modules. Although you can create a site without activating additional modules, it is highly unlikely you will do so. Adding additional modules is very common because they can add some great functionality to your site and make it easier \/ better to use. Some modules add administrative functionality to make managing the site easier and others add new features that your visitors will find helpful.<\/p>\n

In our last tutorial, we showed you how to install a Drupal 8 module<\/a>. Keep in mind that modules are not actually enabled after you install them, so there is an addition step in setting up a module. Below is a short tutorial that demonstrates how to enable a module in Drupal 8.<\/p>\n

Activating a module in Drupal 8<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Visit your site and log into your Drupal 8 admin interface<\/a>.\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \"Select<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    After you have successfully logged in, click on Menu >> Extend<\/strong><\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \"module<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    This brings you to the main Extend<\/em> page. Here you will see all the currently available modules. To enable a module, simply click on the checkbox next to your desired module. For example, here we are activating the Book<\/strong> module.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
