Installing Project Browser on Hostinger

Install with URL

On Hostinger, the easiest way to install Project Browser is through the module tarball URL.  Visit the Project Browser page on Drupal.org, scroll to the Releases section and click on the latest release.

Right-click on either of the download options and Copy Link Address.

In your Drupal site, navigate to /admin/modules/install

Paste the URL and click Continue

After the module is added, the following screen will appear.  Click the link to Enable newly added modules.

On the /admin/modules screen, Search for Project Browser, Check the box next to it, click Install.

After successful installation, a new Browse tab will appear on the /admin/modules screen.

Click Browse to begin browsing and installing additional modules.

Install with Upload or File Manager

NOTE:  Use this option only if you are familiar with Drupal’s architecture.

Hostinger allows you to manage the file system of your website directly through the File Manager tool.  The File Manager tool may be helpful for other tasks, as well.  

Access File Manager by first selecting the Manage button on the Home tab of your Hostinger dashboard, located to the right of your selected hosting plan.

Expand the Files section on the left sidebar and click File Manager.  

This opens a new window with direct access to the file system of your website.  Your installation location and directories may vary.  

Upload and unzip the module tarball to the modules directory.  

In your Drupal site, navigate to /admin/modules.  Locate and Enable the Project Browser module.

Install/Manage with Git

NOTE:  Use this option only if you have a Github account, and are familiar with Git version management and Drupal’s architecture.

Hostinger provides instructions for connecting to an existing Github repository.  

This process works for existing repositories that already contain a Drupal site.  It allows you to deploy that existing site to your Hostinger account.  However, the opposite does not seem to apply (you cannot take a Drupal site installed through Hostinger and push that to a repo).

(Needs further review)

Install with Composer

Hostinger provides instructions for using Composer with their Web Premium, Web Business, and Cloud plans.  

This requires SSH access, which may not be available on lower-tier plans.
