function ModuleInstaller::install
Installs a given list of modules.
Order of events:
- Gather and add module dependencies to $module_list (if applicable).
- For each module that is being installed:
- Invoke hook_module_preinstall().
- Install module schema and update system registries and caches.
- Invoke hook_install() and add it to the list of installed modules.
 
- Invoke hook_modules_installed().
To install test modules add
$settings['extension_discovery_scan_tests'] = TRUE;to your settings.php.
Parameters
string[] $module_list: An array of module names.
